Willy | A Wanderfoot Woodcarving Artist in Maui, Hawaii

Meet Willy, a 4th generation Polynesian wood carver... such a kind and inspiring man! Willy and his family carve tiki. This unique craftsmanship has been passed down through generations of master carvers in this family.

Willi, his brothers, and his father carve simple extraordinary sculptures, including all styles of tikis (from Hawaii, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Maori, and other Islands in the South Pacific). Whether it's ocean life, animal scenes, canoes, walking sticks, wall hangings, full life sculptures, or furniture, each piece is hand-carved and created with respect. Tiki carvings may be as small as 5 inches or as big as 8 feet -- even larger!
