After failed attempts to find Cabots stain locally, I gave Monkeyman a call. He recommended Miniwax Wood Finish in Ebony. I picked some up at Home Depot and got cracking. The Tiki came out beautifully. The Miniwax soaked into the palmwood right away.

I put on 2 coats (more maximum blackness), then applied some Thompson's Water Seal. This bugger is protected and it still has a natural stained wood look.

Mahalo for all your help Ben & Derek!
