You can screw lag screws into the base of the tiki so the cement has something to grab onto. While the concrete is still fresh, cover it with different size lava rocks to give it a more finished look. Make sure to secure this big ol tiki from falling over while the concrete cures for a couple of days. A cool old-timer(76+) that I did a big tiki for installed his tiki this way. The neatest guy, with a couple of vintage 007-like restored Jaguars in the garage.
