AA,
That would be all 230lbs of me making a shave ice. I look forward to meeting up with you some day. We can have dinner at Aloha Grill on the SCTiki Shack tab.
Sam Gambino,
Thank you, wait until I am finished. I plan on submitting the finished product after completion. However, I can't take all the credit for this booth. It was a combined effort between my friend/sander Jason and I.
Chongolio,
What can I say. Getting called a great dude by a great dude is quite the compliment. I had a blast sharing my booth with you. It was great how every time we turned around one of our bro bros was paying us a visit.
Keep in mind that the large tiki in you picture is still under construction, I will be submitting the final product when it is ready.
Benzart,
Shave Ice and tikis seem to go hand in hand. I have been selling shave ice at festivals and rock tours (Warped and HORDE Tours) since 1989. Ever since then, I was using tikis as props. What compelled me to start carving was my love for these fearsome idols. Recently I dug up some of my old essays from grade school. In one class, I had to write a horror story. It was entitled the "Enchanted Tiki". This essay is about a tiki pendant that comes to life and kills unsuspecting individuals at night. However, unfortunatly this tiki forgot to cover its tracks and was soon found by following the tiny bloody footprints it left behind. (Too bad it didn't watch CSI)
I am lucky to be able to make some money doing what I love. Part time ,I am a money manager trading Mutual funds, a rather soleless profession.(As I know you can attest to) Luckily, my boss lets me come in late if the waves are good and allows me to take Mondays and Fridays off to carve. As long as they are working with me I think I will stay, otherwise, I might have to go to carving full time. Unfortunatly, I am afraid that carving might become tedious if it is something that I have to do everyday as a job.
One of these days, if I am successfull enough, I would like to commission you to make me an enchanted tiki pendant. I know they ain't cheap so I am saving up.
Thank you one thousand times,
Will
