OK, this is the deal. Yes the tiki is 5 ft around. And we have other tree stumps that are bigger!!! What happened was the hubby wanted to carve some tiki's but we didn't have the materials. He was talking to a neighborhood gardner and the gardner said that he was always cutting down palm trees and that it was very expensive to dispose of them at the dump. My husband thought "perfect" and told him that whenever he cut down palm trees, to just bring them over....boy did they ever! We have four stumps that are 5 ft around about six ft high. We have another stump I kid you not, the freakin' thing is about 7 ft around. I can't even imagine how tall and old that tree was before it was chopped down. I was thinking about making a tiki bench out of it! We had to tell them to stop bringing the stumps because they were bringing them faster then we could carve them and our back yard was getting a little too crowded. This is something we do for fun and when we have free time, so it takes a few months just to complete one tiki and them being so huge doesn't help. We're going to try some of these methods to get this baby up.

I would love to post a pic of the tiki but don't know how. Can someone give me the 4-1-1 as to post a pic? Please! Thanks! :)
