Funny, they are both versions of something I found in the "Book of Tiki". They kind of look like the Tiki in the BOT pic with the husky bearded Tiki artist, chain saw in hand, carving a really huge, fat log. Don't have the "book" here or I'd give you the guy's name... sorry! Benella, Thanx, too! The Tiki on top is well sanded between three coats of spar varnish, no wax at all. The chizzelled look on the other is more of a cop-out to sanding. I got real bummed because the back of this log was very rotty and I didn't want to spend a lot of time sanding in case it didn't hold up well. Looks good now, and I'm keeping him inside for protection...
