I guess I should have posted this on its own instead of my carving thread. I don't know how to move any of that here so we'll just pick it up here I guess?
"
Oh Yes, I Almost Forgot?? At Hukilau we, well, Swanky announced and had a sign in sheet, a Carving Seminar to be held early next year sometime around April or May. It will include Carving instruction from myself, Basement Kahuna and Tiki Diablo, as well as lodging and meals. It will be for a few days and may include a carving log. There will be room for maybe 15 or 30 depending on the lodge availability. It is in the planning stage now but is almost a done deal If we get enough people. Not sure of the cost or the date or a few other details, but email me or Swank if interested and we will get back with you with more info.
Fun Fun Fun... "

Looking forward to it. Whilst in the beautiful Tenessee Mountains you'll learn to carve an authentic Fijian style weapon from me to decorate your tiki bar walls the traditional way as well as some Marquesan basics and toolmaking. You'll learn how to conquer the world and alter human history with your tool roll from Sir Ben and Sir Cheek!! We'll list a basic set of tools to bring when attending later, nothing expensive, just the bare essentials. And (perhaps, if my temper tamtrum works) the trip will end in an blowout at the legendary Omni Hut? I'll bring the Anniversario

I committed at Hukilau. But I am also pledging my allegiance to the brotherhood in front of this public forum.
I will attend.

You can email me or Ben to get on the list. When I get a chance, I'll have the official site up at Coon-Tiki This is an awesome chance for everyone to ask all those questions of the experts you wish were by your side as you carve. You'll get to see all the little things like how they hold a chisel and just the real nuts and bolts that a carver gets from watching others at the craft. We'll all learn from each other I am sure. It'll be a great help to all of us. This community has a lot of knowledge as a whole and Ben and the guys have a lot of good technique and knowledge. We'll have a great time up there in the hills with nothing but living logs around and mountains and chisels and carvers.

I slapped together the Coon-Tiki site this morning. I tried to answer the questions I have been asked lately. There is a Coon-Tiki section on the Hukilau forums too with a poll question. If you seriously think you will attend, please vote on whether it should be on Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday. You'll need to register there to vote and post if you have not.
Many thanks to Benzart for agreeing to do this. He's helped us on on TC for so long, it will be great to have him helping us in person!

Swanky, will there be overnight accomodations for out-of-towners arriving the night before and/or leaving the day after?

Yes, we'l have at least the main lodge for a week and will offer early arrival and departure. Ben has said he'd like to have down time before and after and we are making sure there is plenty. Once all the details are in place, we'll let you tell us what your plans are. We'll offer extra nights for a very small extra amount.
