With the large black spines, my guess would be L. saribus.

That doesn't look like any saribus I have ever seen. The ones I have seen have had much more pronounced spines.  I know its a Livistona, but not saribus. Sorry to be a dissenting opinion.

I'm with Zac on this one. My Saribus has spines on the range of my pinky size.  

For tiki, I would Guess L. Australis or L. Chinensis.

The pic is not the best, but it gives you an Idea. 15 gal pot

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

It looks like Livistona rigida. How fast does it grow in comparison to other palms you have?

Thanks for the help. It grows on the same pace as my L Decipiens, and they are about the same size.  When I planted it it lost all of its fronds but replaced its crown in the first year.The spines are much smaller than that of L. saribus.
