So I spent most of July 4th outside. This is a Witco wannabe modeled after a design I saw on page 261 of Tiki Modern. It is 3 ft tall and has a fluorescent fixture in it and a cool blue glow when its on. While it isn't exactly the same, I think it has the spirit. Trying to get down to Daytona (The Hawaiian Inn) sometime this summer to see the real one (if it is still there). Decided to try a copy of one of the tikis in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. Mostly for practice and it is a pretty easy design. Its ready for sanding now. More pics after staining.
