Hand-Carved Whale Tail Sculpture · Monkeypod Wood · Maui

Island artistry meets timeless craftsmanship.

This hand-carved whale tail sculpture is shaped from a single piece of monkeypod wood and detailed with traditional Polynesian motifs — plumeria blossoms, ocean swells, tribal patterns, and frigate birds in flight. “Maui” is carved into the base, grounding each piece in its island origin.

Every sculpture is carved entirely by hand, so no two are exactly alike. The rich, warm tones of the monkeypod wood deepen over time, and the natural grain gives each piece its own character and movement.

Display it as a centerpiece, on a bookshelf, entryway console, or gift it as a meaningful keepsake from the islands. It pairs beautifully with other coastal décor or stands boldly on its own.

Sold individually — each one a one-of-a-kind work of art.
