We have several areas we'd like to trick out tiki-style.

1. Den = new tiki bar
2. Outdoor Patio = liki lounge area
3. Backyard

For now, I'd like to concentrate on a Patio Tiki. I'd like to carve a tiki that will sit in a fountain type setting. So I'd like a tiki to be about 2-3 feet. It will be a feature/focal point in the room. This is where I'd like to start.

Backyard: I'd like a series of 3 tikis for the backyard. I'm thinking I'd like to carve at least one (6 ft tall) and if the project gets too overwhelming, I'd just buy the other two, but that project will be determined at how I do with the patio tiki.

Incidentally, the den area leads out to the outdoor patio, so the flow will be wonderful! I'm so excited.

So in answering the question, for now one small 2-3 foot tiki and later a 6 ft. tiki.

Access to wood, humm, I'm a newbie at this, so I'm looking into that....I figure I'd pester the local landscrapers, etc.

Thanks for the input!
