Leroy and Bob r da bes! They inspire a lot of us new school carvers!

Leroy and Bob are the coolest; got lineage, contacts, history validity they have been there, done that.
Bob and leroy are definitley the "go to guys".

Bob's very savvy, great businessman. without sacrificing his natural aloha spirit.
Leroy is absolutely the greatest cool cat; I love his humility; when someone came up to him and asked for his autograph on one o his carvings, he obliged readily but as the fan left, shook his head in amazement regarding this "deification" and told me what he thought about this kinda thing...

had conversations with him re; the current tiki carvings and learned much from the mind that has created most all tiki that america has grown up with. very intriguing, thought provoking, clear perspective.
Tops in my book.
