Thanks to everyone for posting the pictures of the original & the 2003 version. Looks awsome. Soon as I read this discussion I went over to TF and bought one for myself. Thanks Holden for keeping the Aloha spirit alive.

I just got home and found my new Kava Bowl waiting for me... WOW!
It's Beee-you-teee-fuuul! And much larger than I expected.
Holden, you've really raised the bar with this piece.

I agree totally, Tiki Royale! I got home today and found mine on the front porch in a WATERPROOF PACKAGE!!! WOW!!! Okay... It was a box in a Plastic Bag, but Who Does That!?!
It's LOVELY! My wife, ever the forward thinker, asked immediately "What do we get to drink out of that?" I showed her the recipe and she helped me to decide to wait until Friday Night. Expect glowing reports on how well the new Bowls handle the classic cocktail on Saturday. Okay. Sunday, maybe.

Ordered mine on Saturday, It was waiting for me on my door step on Tuesday! I love it.
My wife watched me open the box and as soon as I held it up she said, "thanks for my new mug" and ran off with it. It is proudly displayed in our living room like the fine piece of art it is. That is, it's diaplayed until Sunday when it takes it's maiden voyage. Can't wait.

Tratior Vic, your post got me thinking... What is the proper drink for the Kava Bowl?
I don't know that Trader Vic's served traditional polynesian Kava, so what's everyone drinking now?
What's the recipe you referred to Vic?
Aloha,

Alooooooha!
Ok, so you see what the Kava Bowl looks like and maybe you forgot about the fact that we were making these, or just thought you would have to wait too long to get one. Well, let me tell you that I do have a shipment of these in and I have reserved some for fellow TC'ers.
Retail price: $XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Mahalo!
Oh, and here is a picture of the Kava Bowl since our website is yet to be updated. (No the "Click Here" doesn't work, it's just to show the picture.)
