From what lee was telling me about this old tiki, quite a bit of the base is completely missing to the point that what was once a flat bottom, is now quite angled due to rot and complete wood loss. If I remember correctly what Lee said, there is an existing hole center bottom, about 2 - 3 inches in diameter, that would have been used to run some type of support up into the tiki...so it most likely has had some type of base prior in it's life...It would be very cool to see if a restoration of some type could build the bottom back up enough to be able to support the weight of this monster. Good Luck Lee! Please keep us posted. I would try some of these products mentioned above, it is certainly worth a try.
