Everybody's been PMing me asking some really strange questions about the Chop, so here are the basic facts:

We'll be there Friday to Sunday, 10:00-5:00 every day at the Oasis.

There will be 25 carvers involved, many are regulars from our monthly Tiki Chops.

Anybody, and I mean anybody, who wants to try Tiki carving should come out and give it a go. We'll have demo logs set up to try carving on, as well as cheap palm logs you can buy, carve, and take home. We'll help you, and show ya the ropes.

Only the signed-on carvers get a Carving Village pendant; 33 now, including volunteers & assistants. We'll auction off some extra pendants, and I'll paint your name on them.

We'll have a Tiki Auction of really good stuff at 3:45 on Saturday (right after the Bum's talk) and 2:00 on Sunday (after Otto's talk). TCers should hit the Saturday one, there will be some specials going that day.

We'll also have stain and cans of Poly and Spar there to play with.

Carvers will be doing demos, but times are impossible to pin down, it's a very loose thing. We'll post times on the big board in the lobby if possible. We've generally decided to just chop Tikis all weekend, the whole thing is one big demo.

All the carvers will be using hand tools only, no power.

All the carvers will be coming and going constantly, checking out Oasis events too, so it'll be different every time you stop by.
