Aloha,

Here's a tiki that i found on a recent trip to Kona, HI. It's about 3 ft tall, 120 lbs, and seemingly older and made from either stone or some kind of composite cement (there is carving in it, and the smoother texture leans me away from thinking its standard cement.)

Here's the story that went with it:

The guy i got it from sold it for an older guy who supposedly worked at Disney, and picked this up during a remodel. He said it came from the Lanai of a Disney resort. He's going to learn more when he talks to the guy again.

So... Disney or no Disney? It doesn't look Enchanted Tiki Room style, but perhaps Polynesian Resort style.

No matter the case-- I love a good story, he's awesome and i'm glad he's joining my tiki bar.

Thanks,
