I wasn't aware when I did this that Italian Cypress is one of the most durable woods around! The doors of St. Peters Basilica in Rome were constructed of it and were still intact after 1100 years when they were replaced with Bronze. Basically the tiki's you're looking at will hold not last for years, but for centuries! How Cool!
