Aloha again everyone!
You bruddah's are all right Im beginning to think...But Tipsy brah, youre got me really thinking...What if the kook starts copying and selling the makau Ive created? I know that originality is relative when it comes to making authentic ancient style makau (kanaka's been making da kine for thousands of years!), but the shapes & styles are MY interpretations of the kahiko style and I know it would be illegal to copy directly, something I myself have created...

Well, like I said, I did contact the seller and I havent received a response yet so I just might have to report da buggah to Ebay...My wife thinks he should send me da kine gold makau for "borrowing" my photo but I doubt the seller would go for that! If da bruddah got lolo po'o in da Iwi po'o!(A brain inside that head!)Still, bad mana I think for the kook to use my photo without permission...

Anyway, mahalo for all the kokua everyone...Im still mulling this over in my head for now...

Malama Pono!
