Hey, have you ever thought of using papercrete to lighten these up and/or save a bit on materials? Give this a look: http://livinginpaper.com/index.htm There's some great info on there about mixes, shrinkage, strength, etc. Also, I had an awesome idea to make a multi-layered mold out of your box form and cut plywood or even closed-cell foam attached to the bottom. That way, if you needed to make multiples of a single tiki (or multiples with only slight variations) you could cast them. Say if you were selling them or wanted to make cornerstones for a raised garden...
