Big Kahuna Tiki Huts had the honor of working with Matthew Brown and members of Eagles Scout Troop 774 of Jupiter, Florida, as Matthew worked toward his Eagle Scout ranking.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) awards this highest honor to Scouts who demonstrate leadership while performing an extensive project in their community. The project must benefit an organization other than the BSA. Also, it cannot be performed for an individual or a business; cannot be solely a fund-raising project; and cannot be a commercial effort.

Matthew’s project included the total reconstruction of two hurricane damaged Seminole Indian chiki huts located at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter, Florida.

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is a facility dedicated to bringing wildlife and people together to foster awareness of the value and diversity of Florida’s natural resources. The sanctuary offers a unique opportunity to experience native Florida wildlife and natural ecosystems up close. Their animal hospital treats over 4,000 injured animals annually.

Matthew’s job was to plan, organize, lead and manage the project. He invested 220 hours of his time to complete the project from start to finish. This included raising over $5,000 for the project.

“With the help of my family, friends, and fellow scouts, we completed the chiki hut project within two days,” says Matthew. He added, ” It took two days of hard labor and organization, including clearing shrubs and debris, mulching, replacing crossbeams and supports, and individually attaching new palm fronds on both structures.”

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts worked with the Scouts by assisting in the thatching of the fresh cut palm fronds that makes up the roof of the chiki hut.

The results were successful and Matthew was awarded his Eagle Scout rank.  The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase, “Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.” Congratulations to Matthew and his fellow Scouts.

Big Kahuna Tiki Huts built a 40 foot x 20 foot tiki hut at the Tides Club located at Patrick Air Force Base in Florida.  The large tiki hut was built on their beachfront deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.  Big Kahuna also thatched several existing structures converting them into tiki huts.  Along with building many single pole tiki huts with tables around them.

This area is a place for military personnel and their families to enjoy on a daily basis.  The tiki area has also become a great location for year round functions and activities.  Special events can be held outdoors with plenty of shaded area.

One of the couples that got married at the tiki hut was so excited they sent us pictures.  Their family and friends gathered at the Tides Club to celebrate the wedding nuptials.  More than 50 guests enjoyed the beachside affair.  Congratulations to them and a long, happy, healthy and prosperous life.

Check out our new design of the Tiki God Mailbox.  This tiki god mailbox stands six feet tall and was hand-crafted by our carver on staff. 

Carving is one of the oldest known art forms. Ancient people that occupied the Pacific islands often used this art form to create “tiki” statues and poles. “Tiki” refers to large wood (or stone) carvings of humanoid forms.

The tiki mailboxes are made of natural materials (palm wood) individually hand-carved and chiseled. The raw shape of the wood guides the finished design making each tiki god unique. The artist then paints on the menacing grin and piercing eyes. Out of the mouth comes the mailbox, creating a unique and fun way to create a tropical feel to your home and yard.

The tiki bar was designed with cypress flared stumps on the ends and in the center.  We used the upgraded-bigger bamboo on the bar front.  The bar top has a built-in firepit in the center and was hand-painted to give a design of using different woods.  On the edge of the bartop big cypress half-rounds were installed.  Also big cypress posts were used for footrest that set on top of bamboo.
