They look tough, like Tiki longshoremen or little gangsters! Don't sand these suckers, just stain 'em and leave them outside but not in the sun. Get some small cheap cans of stain, whatever looks good to you. In a few months apply a final coat, like spar varnish (if you're going to keep them outside) or 2 coats of poly (for indoors Tikis). They really have to dry out some more, don't apply varnish or poly to a wet tiki, but the stain will help keep the mold away. More, man!
