Who won the tikis by BOSKO and Tiki Diablo?
Do you have pictures of those tikis?
I almost flew there just to get a shot at those!
I've met them both and they are two great guys.
Would have love to carve with these masters!
Not to mention Crazy Al!

Bosko contributed one of his lovely abstracty tiki masks from his booth, and Danny put one of his 12 Volcanos mugs into the auction. This was incredibly sweet of them and much appreciated by the carvers.

The fact is that the two of them, along with Benzart, taught many of the San Diego Chop Chop folks how to carve in the first place, and they are rather beloved by most of the group.

Mad props to 4WD whose tiki mask brought in more money on its own that any other item in the auction.

I failed in my duty as the official auction bookkeeper in that I wasn't able to record who purchased what. Things were going so fast, I only had time to keep track of where the money all went.

Yes, I must agree that it was most cool of Bosko and Danny to donate to our chop community. Now I feel bad for keeping the money from the mask I auctioned off. It was a nice couple from the East Bay and it was their first tiki.

Thanks a bunch to John Wood and Lila Robinwood. I hope my little carving brings you years of enjoyment and the fact that you loved it so much was very flattering, as I am still a snot-nosed little rookie.

That chop was right up in the top ten greatest times I've ever had, man.

And lastly(but DEFINATELY not leastly) A HUGE thanks to my good friend and brother, Brian (H20tiki). Without you, bro......I'd have been laying on the ground, scratching a face into a pencil, man. My weekend could NOT have happened without you!!
