Wonderful world of wplugger - Tiki Carving

I hope that changes!! JT - Wood rot is something that you have to live with in Florida. There are too many factors that work against wood left in the open air. The big guy will be planted on top of a small hill that is mostly gravel and sand. There will be more moisture damage from the air than the ground! We also have termites, wood peckers and carpenter ants - the expected life of this carving will only be at most 10 years. This was all factored when we came up with the idea. Its my turn to carve the next one. In case you didn't know, Will is the guy that has been casting all of the tikis at the Mai Kai. Its a cool story.
