This is an old thread, but just wanted to say that Christina Walker (the Tiki Lady) is still hard at work there in Jacksonville, building and shipping concrete tikis. I am fortunate to have gotten two of her creations and my third is on the way. The statues are not solid concrete. They are hollow (or have some lightweight material at the core). They weigh about 80 pounds, but they do an excellent job packaging them for shipping. In most cases, shipping is less than $70. I did have one tiki broken by UPS in their careless handling, but since that problem, they have switched to DHL and the two I have received were in perfect condition.

The cool thing about these tikis is that they can sit out in the weather without fading or deteriorating in any way. She acid stains some of them and the two I have have been sitting out in all sorts of weather for three years. They look like the day I bought them.

Christina and Bruce are super to work with and I highly recommend their products. Give them a try:
