That place is so big and it crawls with full time staff. I tend to put my stuff out closer to my house. If you have some place down south that needs a tiki, let me know and I'll give you one to put up. MadDogMike-- That's definitely the best use of that garish party city thing. Here is part of a thread that has a bunch of them. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=20594&forum=18&vpost=354357&hilite=concrete%20molds I have been talking to a friend who does paper mache and we figured that we could make original tikis, then cast them with plaster like you did, then pour cement into them. The options are only limited by you imagination. The latest tiki I've been working on has seemed to dry out rock hard. It doesn't want to sand at all with the grinder without burning the wood. It seems to be telling me that it wants to be done. I'm going to do some final sandings then stain it. Anybody know what kind of palm this is? I found it on the side of the road cut and have no idea what it looked like when it was up.
