Noll Tikis

8 feet

My Tiki Work My love of and fascination with tikis really began with my love of the Polynesian culture. My folks often took the whole family to Hawaii when we were young and we got to know quite a few true Hawaiians, so as a family we were exposed to the authentic language and many cultural ideas. 8 feet At some point, a local carver here in Crescent City carved a few tikis and that is what inspired my first attempts in 2002. I have since learned, somewhat, of the differences from culture to culture. I have carved Tahitian, Hawaiian, and Maori tikis so far. Initially, I didn't see the tikis as religious symbols but rather as art. Now, I try to be respectful of certain meanings behind the art. My preferred medium is Redwood; I like it because of its sustainability. I also really like the bigger logs, hence bigger tikis. With Redwood, I think the art will be around long after I am gone. It's just been a fantastic hobby for me and now it's a small part of our business at the Surf shop. -Rhyn Noll- 5 feet
