Excellent stand JP. How long did you say you have been working on it?Super Nice job. Now All you need to do is carve a Moai into one of the Rocks(Live rock?) in the tank. I KNOW You CAN DO IT!

Thanks Gman and Bete
Benart, I forgot about this piece until you mentioned it. But this is a piece of coral I picked up from the beach in Florida two years ago. It kinda looks like a stone carved Moari god stick top.
This is exactly as I found it sitting on the sand.

A shell or rock on the beach with natural hole(s) in it is also known as a hagstone, old time pagans believed they had mystic healing powers. I found one that has a few holes arrayed like an animal paw print, it was cool, but not tiki. That head looks pretty swell. I'm also anxious to see your progress on the tiki tank.
