I know that palm logs are the most traditional, but what do people who like tikis think of "fake stone" or cement tikis? The tiki is going to be outside, near my spa. I am trying to set up a little "island retreat" theme to enhance my relaxation. Hawaiian tikis are more traditional for the Hawaiian area, and in New Zealand the maori tikis are more traditional... :lol: :D As far as the retro poly pop tiki bar thing, Hawaiian tikis are definitely far more common. AAC (aerated concrete) is a great medium for beginners
