For those that have not been to the Lagoon Room, GO! You're in for a treat. Very cool of Mike (Gecko) to offer some insight into carving. He'll be a tiki carving legend like Leroy in his time, and you can say "I knew him when...". Have Fun.

Let us know if we can help with anything. Gecko, Is Poly bringing some tools with him or should I bring over some chisels? I would like to bring over the mini tiki's that I have been working on to show you. I am starting on the 6th one tonight.
