GT Gone Tiki Grand Member (1 year) Tacoma Joined: Oct 02, 2016 Posts: 33	GT Gone Tiki Posted posted on Tue, Feb 27, 2018 10:16 PM "Tiki Held-a-Cannibal"! Inspired by a cannibal tiki totem pole we found photographed in Trader Vic's back in the 50s. This nostalgic piece is perfect for the tiki room entry, bar top or canopy support. It could hold up a house because its carved from a hard fir 6"X 8" beam.
