Each Hand carved Tiki is unique in design and character. Tiki Totems are a great way to accent your pool or garden. Tikis are a perfect way to compliment your Palapa or Tiki Hut. Tikis express a character or feeling; that's why each one has it's own name. Named in the Hawaiian language, each tiki is unique in every way.

How to care for your Tiki. Keep in mind that a tiki is made of wood and has a limited lifetime when exposed to the elements. Try to keep your tiki under cover whereever possible. If cover is not available, or isn't conducive to your lanscape design, you can ehlp to preserve your tiki by placing a garden pot saucer on you tiki's head to protect it from rain soaking in. You can put a potted plant on top for added character and protection (be sure to put a saucer under the pot) Periodicaly give your tiki a frfesh coat of varnish, Thompson's water seal or an outdoor stain/weatherizer. If your Tiki needs to be buried (it is one with roots), backfill the hole with rock or heavy gravel. If the bottom rots due to excessive moisture, cut off the bad stuff and rebury him. Ther is normally a lot of tiki that can be trimmed back as needed. Place freestanding tikis on a cement round or flagstone. Remember, you need to keep it's feet dry.

What to do if the top gets "mushy" Either you can put a saucer on top and a plant on top of that or you can scoop out the "mush"., put in some potting soil and plant a fern directly in your tiki. After a year or so, the ferns will grow our of the bottom of the tiki.
