Ok, here's da second half since I got kicked off of shutterfly last night. Here's da rest.

anybody recognize this OKOLE?



still has da tag.
yes, dat's da wun Aquarj posted earlier on this topic and gave me many sleepless nights because I didn't have it! well I slept good for da last 3 days!! super find at $8.
the other 2 were given to me by braddah Freddy. They are Pen Holders. If you have da wahine there is 2 versions one, with a bikini top and da uddah is topless and is older than the covered wun. Freddy has da wun with nipples.

here's a rare white coco joes. These were made just befor they went out of buisness. Not to many were made. Like the lava these were made with real coral mixed in with the resin. That was kinda stupid of coco joes with all da coral reef protective groups on da island. Regardless, it's rare and it's now in my collection.

I agree with PJ that it looks like Kanaloa to but not fo sho?
Coco joes made up some of it's figures and made up stories to go with them. H.I.P however told da real legends about all da Tikis. The stories came from wun of da big Kahunas here on da islands. His name is at da tip of my tounge because I was just talking about him lastnight with a friend.

Bong, HA! Freddie wish those were his! he has 12 of mine at his house(thought I forgot eh) I know he's reading this. Anyways, those all belong to me braddah Bong. The charm that Freddy gave you was from a rare mold that came from that batch.

Braddah Chiki, da bad ass carver from So. Cal .....no worries brah, nooooo worries!!! We'll get together and do some ono work together! eh, put some money together and open up a dream spot down there in So. Cal like Braddah Brad da Beach! Like dat wun haole on TV wen sed "If you build it, dem braddahz gon come" think about it.

shaka
