Yes, the rumors ARE true. The LARGEST chop-chop Oasis has ever seen, right here on our home field!!........and I will be in attendance, chopping, getting drunk(a constant .15 BAC will be maintained throughout the weekend) and playing with my chainsaw. I may not have my Flex-cut set by then, but I've got some Home-Depot chisels and an electric freaking chainsaw!!!

Kate - 2 1/2 inches tall.
Mieko is going to give it the olde college try casting the sucka, we're gonna try to make it look just like wood. I tried to design it like a combo Polynesian fish hook, knife, chisel, and that pendulum thing that mad scientists are always trying to cut the good guys in half with.

Our Tiki Carving Village Special Guest this year is Richard Morgan Howell. He carves stuff like this –
And this –
He learned to carve in the South Seas, during his full time work as a fisheries expert. He’s lived everywhere, carved with natives in Tonga, Fiji, Hawaii, you name it. He came to Babalu's Lemon Grove Chop, and let Clysdalle use a real adze for the first time. We got along with him right away.
Because he’s also a fishing pro he also carves stuff like this –
he likes fish hooks ...
And can tell you anything you want to know about Polynesian game fish, tiki chopping techniques, strange rituals unseen for centuries, and the secret ways of the headhunting tribes of Papua New Guinea. I’m not making this up!
To top it all off, his name really is MR. HOWELL. Holy Cripes, his name is Mr. Howell! You can buy him a drink, he seems to like the stuff, and listen to his stories of danger and wood chips at the Tiki Carving Village every day. He'll be chopping a tiki there.
