I got a good kick today,....someone came to take a picture of the wood carving of the sea turtle and coral reef system I am carving. He pointed out, "Do you know you could be arrested for this?" I said, "Why would I be arrested?" He said ....for taking coral out of Hawaii waters. I remarked....that is not coral that is Hala driftwood carved to look like coral, that piece took over two/three months to carve. Then I got to thinking what if some idiot called the authorities that I had a giant piece of coral sitting in my living room....and the cops showed up? This is not the first time people thought it was real coral.....that would be kicker I get arrested for carving something that looks real and try to prove it is wood....and that .....it is carved!!!
