The figure represents the commoner, a regular person: the face and nose, with two hands holding the head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title pairs the Hawaiian word \u003cem\u003emakaʻāinana\u003c\/em\u003e (commoner; the people in general) with its English name. Milo (\u003cem\u003eThespesia populnea\u003c\/em\u003e) is a hardwood that Avi describes as nearly as strong as Koa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvi spent three to four months on the piece. He finishes his sculpture with oil rather than varnish, so the wood can be touched and felt; this work carries 12 to 18 coats of oil over a 3,000-grit surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a unique original, one sculpture, available through Maui Fine Art Collective.
