King Kamehameha Storyboards @ Tikimaster.com

TikiMaster.com has more than just tikis and tiki masks, we have the largest selection of hand carved Hawaiian storyboards. Today, we are featuring the storyboard that dipicts King Kamehameha's crossing of the Molokai Channel. After taking Maui and Molokai, his war canoes crossed the channel and landed at Waialae and Waikiki, on O`ahu. As Kamehameha's warriors pushed up Nuuanu Valley, they were fired upon by two cannons causing great loss of life and destruction. Kamehameha sent a division of his best men to double back and climb the ridge above Pauoa Valley. A runner was sent to the reserve forces in Waikiki with instructions to climb Manoa Valley and follow the ridge trail to Nuuanu Pali where they would join the other division to capture the cannons. Stunned by this military manuever, the Oahu warriors defended their positions in vain and fought to the bitter end. Some escaped over the mountains, others were pushed over the pali and many, rather than surrender, plunged to their deaths from the 1000 ft. cliffs. The decisive battle of Nuuanu Pali gave Kamehameha control of the islands, except Kauai, that remained independent.

Bamboo Everything at TikiMaster.com

Bamboo is an excellent way to add an organic vibe with pure elegance to any home. Bamboo can be used both inside and outside. Bamboo is not only beautiful, but it is also easy to maintain, and easy on the earth! Thankfully TikiMaster.com has everything to meet your bamboo needs!

According to the laws of Feng Shui, luck and prosperity will be an addition to your home when you use bamboo as a decorating element. When using bamboo inside your home, try adding it to already existing foliage and/or flowers, or go all out and create a unique arrangement with just bamboo. Using bamboo of different lengths in a large, ornate pot, with up lighting, can create a simple, yet sophisticated Eastern Asian piece of art decor. Another creative way to use bamboo indoors, is as a chair rail along your walls. Splice medium to large bamboo down the center and adhere horizontally to the lower half of your wall. This will create a very tropical feel to any room. If you need to separate a large room into smaller section, try using 3-4 foot tall bamboo fencing to section off the areas needed.

Bamboo also makes a design statement when used outdoors. If you need to create a barrier, either from a neighbor, pool, or perhaps a garden or children’s play area, try using bamboo as your medium of separation. Bamboo is easily attachable to already existing fences that need a face lift, or bamboo can be used on it’s own to create separation. Bamboo works much better than traditional plastic, metal or vinyl fencing because of it’s natural look and feel. You’ll notice how your landscaping pops around bamboo.

Kanaloa Tiki - Tiki of the Sea

Kanaloa is one of the four great tiki gods of Hawaiian mythology, along with Kāne, Kū, and Lono. He is the local form of a Polynesian tiki deity generally connected with the sea.

In the traditions of ancient Hawaiʻi, Kanaloa is symbolized by the squid or by the octopus, and is typically associated with Kāne in legends and chants where they are portrayed as complementary powers. For example: Kāne was called upon during the building of a canoe, Kanaloa during the sailing of it; Kāne governed the northern edge of the ecliptic, Kanaloa the southern. In this way, they represent a divine duality of wild and taming forces like those observed like the popular yin-yang of Chinese Taoism.

Kanaloa is also considered to be the tiki god of the Underworld and a teacher of magic. Legends state that he became the leader of the first group of spirits "spit out" by the gods. In time, he led them in a rebellion in which the spirits were defeated by the gods and as punishment were thrown in the Underworld.
