My Mom told me that my Dad wanted a tiki for Christmas. They live down in Orlando and have a tropical yard that a tiki would fit very well in, so I was stoked.

I've been converting a barn into living space at work lately and found a 6x6 pine post. Working in square stock was nice. Going to have to check the lumber yards to see if they have any 6x6 or 8x8 non-pressure treated posts.

I am happy (finally) with the staining. I used a wall tiki from the Kona Kai Apartments http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=27645&forum=2&start=0 as the design, because they are also square stock and very tall. This bastard stands 6 ft. 6 in.
