at Don's & other Tiki events in Calif.

A couple years ago my wife pointed out something while we were in her aunts backyard.
She saw an odd shaped rock under her aunts fence. I pulled it out from the dirt, and BAMM...
Saved him and got the OK to take it home. She had no idea where she got it.

I would love some concrete or stone tikis for my backyard but they're hard to come by here. If anyone has a source let me know. They're too heavy to ship!

Lori, Check your local garden centers and big box store garden centers in the summer. That's when concrete tikis come out of hibernation. Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, etc...

Found something interesting (to me, at least) so I'm reviving this thread. This guy (girl) looks familiar. Anyone seen anything similar?

Found this guy at the local garden center. Like everyone else says, he's heavy as all get out, but a nice focal point to the entry of our Hut.

Can it be that I have the only one? can there be only one? looks like it was a cast job, with all the wood grain. it has the means to have had water pumping thru it. the bottom box is bolted to the tiki and the bowl just sits on top of box. this thing is heavy,the guys that moved it for me said it was like a ton of bricks. I don't know why it is...it had to be harder to make than carving one out of wood! who would put that much time and effort into making a concrete witco fountain? I've looked in a lot of books and have searched to no end...somebody has to know something...this a cement witco or a red herring

I actually bought one of these this weekend. It was given a paint job at some point, and it probably weighs 300-400 Lbs. Here's a picture of it at the Auction house:
I'll post one of it outside of our basement bar this weekend.

And here it is outside of the entrance to our basement bar, No Bikini Atoll. This heavy bastard broke into a ton of pieces on his way down the stairs. After drilling holes, reinforcing him with rebar, and a lot of construction adhesive, he's proudly standing again.

Yikes! That doesn't sound like a whole heck of a lot of fun! I'm glad you were able to salvage him, tho. Looks good from here. I've been on the lookout for concrete tikis of my own, but thus far have come up empty.
