Hello all, I am in search of a tiki artist in the West Palm Beach area to transform what was once a 30 year old, 50 foot tree of undetermined species, that was beat by Hurricane Frances and completely defeated by Hurricane Jean. The tree or stump as the case would be is approximately 6 foot tall with a diameter of 3 feet. I have debated on cutting it the rest of the way but feel that a 30 year old tree/stump should receive a better fate than being cut up and carted off to the land fill. I do not know the tree species as mentioned above but I believe it is some type of a hardwood with a tight grain. So long story short I am looking for an artist to transform the stump into a work of art that will make people happy when they see it. Actual design will be left largely to the artist, all that I ask is that the tiki be friendly, joyous and full of life. I should also mention that the powers that be (i.e. the town council) are on my case to remove the stump but once transformed they are done and it will become a landmark. Any who are interested please contact me at [email protected] or 561-628-4845. I look forward to hearing from any and all.
