Here's todays work. Still sanding, but just about done. This is my very first cook islands style. Yes, I did look at someone elses work for reference.

And I stained this guy. Not happy with this color for this style. Too red. Needs to be more brown. He looks like Eddie frekin' Munster.

The one behind him is a re-stain I did for my mom two years ago. I would never even CONSIDER using whitewash on a tiki nowadays. Was too much work to sand it off and mom liked it, so it's staying as it is.
