Master Carver Tavita has over 50 years of carving experience. He only passes his knowledge down to his family. His nephew is currently apprenticing and building his skills to carry on the tradition.  Over the years, Friendly Isles has carved many of our recognized wood works for the rich and the famous. We continue to strive to create inspirational, original works of art.

Tavita carves in the beautiful town of Kihei. Our location changes, so call ahead if you want to meet in person - we'd love to see you! Visitors and kama'aina (locals) are all welcome!  (See our Carvings)
