Decided to make a smaller tiki. It stands about 15 inches tall, sits up on its own and has a hole in the top for a candle. Made the first one quick and dirty for a tiki bar my friend just made. Can't have a tiki bar without a tiki.

Come next Friday, I'm going back to the Polynesian Resort in Walt Disney World for a week (happy me :D). I'm going to make another one this size and put it out somewhere.
I also made a little mold (3 1/2" by 7" by 1 1/2" deep) that I'm going to make a few little bitty tikis to hide somewhere. I grew up in Orlando and would hang out on property everyday I wasn't at work. Back in the day, we used to drink MD 20/20 Blue Hawaiian (mixed with Powerade over ice, it wasn't too bad and it kept you hydrated during those hot summer days) and Crown Royal while hanging out at the Poly and Contemporary Resorts. When we were done, we would stick the empties in the ceiling tiles by the ice machines, among other places.

So I thought it might be cool to put a few tikis around for any TCer that finds them. Will post where when I get back.

Had a question about my molds and tools so here is a few pics
