I acquired this very old Tiki. Apparently it was brought back on the Matson Ship Line back in the 40's or 50's. It's REALLY old, and the wood is peeling off. I'd like to preserve it so it doesn't continue to dilapidate.

Carver/Wood/Tiki experts...any tips on how to preserve this guy ?

Here are the pix.
