He's so Old-School looking, you wouldn't believe! I've seen uncoated palm tikis from the 1960s and 70s that have been exposed to the elements and are still standing, (though often pretty rotted), at apartment buildings, swimming pools and restaurants. If they're sheltered from the elements (under an awning as a support pillar for instance), they often look just as good as they did in the 60s. I like the untreated look for palm tikis like that one, personally. Sabu
