Do you want an Official Tiki Central Ohana Hut mug? - General Tiki

It's NOT an order list. It was just an informal headcount to understand how many we'll be selling. The headcount we got was a good number, but not enough to justify making master molds. This means we'll only have the two original molds (one for the top, one for the bottom). And those molds will only work for about 150 pours before they'e too worn out to be used any more. So the TC Ohana Hut will be a limited edition of 150 bowls. This is how I understand it: To make a master mold, Stuckie would have to make two-part molds of each of the pieces* shown in the photo below. That's the equivelent work of making nine more two-piece mug molds! And since the headcount we have so far for Ohana Huts is less than 150, we simply can't justify making master molds for the Ohana Hut. I know this means that some late-comers might not be able to get a mug, but there's just an incredible amount of work required in making the edition count rise above 150. I hope everyone understands. ~Hanford
