Looks like it's anchored quite well .... I think the concrete base will be the key to longevity. I placed a couple tikis on the dirt and they slowly rotted at the base ... good luck, it looks perfect!
I just got the new Flexcuts as well and, yes, they do take some getting used to! I had only used the flat Lowes chisels and the slight curves on the Flexcuts are indeed different ... The tall guy looks great!!
