But I retained a 3 foot section of one of the huge limbs, as well as a disk from the trunk (for a table or bench). I recently contacted JungleTrader, Turlock CA, and commissioned him to carve a tiki from the limb, to help keep the mana of the felled tree, happy. JungleTrader did a fantastic job in carving the tiki for me. The limb was still green and wet inside, so it must have been one heck of a job! By the summertime, JT said I can burn the detail so the tiki's features will be more visible. Thanks again, Vic!! Here is JungleTrader and my new tiki:
