Happy Buddah -

I suspect you're right. And, moving it around more, it's definitely palm. Those are clearly not native to Wisconsin (ahem), so there's some kind of fun story hiding there.

Should say, too, the photos don't really do it much good... it's much more pleasant to look at in person! And in the dark of our basement bar, underlit, it'll look fantastic (along with the....uhh...7 other 6ft+ tall Tikis currently in our garage waiting for their time to shine.)

Either way, for $40, we couldn't leave 'im there.

Not saying at all it's from the Leilani (and the Mai Khi would be more probable anyway... I've read this whole thread a several times over the years and am fascinated with the place, the lava carvings, etc) just "wondering if..." like I mentioned. It's fun to think maybe it lived in a back corner by the bathroom there or something, watching Vic Damone from the shadows.

OK... enough of my derailing this thread! Now back to daydreaming about what the inside of this place must have been like...
