Auwie! wot a great idea Chiki! If da guys in da pass could have done sumting li'dat HO! I would have loved to see da pic of all of them or read da article or look at da Tiki or wateva dem guys would have done. If this eva happens, you let me know da date and i gon be there.

If it happens it will be a great piece of history to be in about 40+ years from now when we no longer have the strength to pickup da good ol' hamma and chizle....thats kind of heart breaking to even think that right now. I couldn't imagine not being able to carve anymore! Leroy Schmaltz is for sure the Michael Jordan of this Tiki culture and I know why he keeps going, the LOVE of the chizle and hamma. I know it's going to be hard for him when he finally retires. I just pray I'm blessed with all da years to carve as Mr.Schmaltz was.

Boobam Ben has a great point to with the charity. I was givin a gift and I don't mind at all giving back. It can be for wateva charity or for something special for the collectors who buy our stuff etc.. I'll be home with my parents in June, so let me know braddahs.

Aloha
