Tiki heads are a common site in the Hawaiian Islands. They're not usually made of ice though...



*updated 2/5/12

When I was very young, I lived on the island of Oahu and my first memories are of Hawaiian beaches. I don’t remember seeing Tiki heads, but that’s probably just as well, because it probably saved me a few nightmares. These traditional Hawaiian statues resemble smaller, wood versions of the Easter Island heads. There are many different designs and I came up with this version for a Hawaiian themed event. Notice that the design is shifted to the left side of the block so that the extra ice can more easily be used for something else.



This design originally showed up in On Ice in 2000. In the same issue was a lobster design that's also on the site.

Also, check out the video below that features ice Tiki heads in an unusual presentation! (One of the Tiki heads has a similar design too.)





This page is currently an unfortunate victim of the transition that ice carving secrets is undergoing. At a later date, the ice sculpture design will get a minor makeover.
