Sounds like a neat idea. What the heck, I can eat top ramen for a couple weeks if it means I helped bring one more tiki into the world. Put me down for a twenty spot ($20.00). How about having a design contest and the winner gets there vision carved by one of the TCs carvers. Kinda like the shecky deal.

Well Ithink the working idea would be either a Kahona or a Lono to gaze out over The grounds. But perhaps any carver could present a rendering of their take on either subject, and we present them to the group.

But other possiblities could exist in choosing a carver.

I still extend the first right to Bamboo Ben as he did offer quite sometime ago to do a carving should we get this idea off the ground.

We still need to get the exact needs of what would be needed to make sure the tiki A) will survive for sometime in the Florida environment, B) to be able to make sure the tiki is secure in its new home, C) most importantly meets with the approval of the Indian Shores Government who would be the ones being gracious enough to allow a tiki raising on what is after all, their property.

Keep the discussion going.
