Here is my 9th tiki!

I'm still in the "I wonder if I could make one of those?" phase. I found some questionable spots (rot?) in the log below the torso, so I opted to make him in a seated position. It's got to be pretty obvious who I copied on that part!

Again, a FAIL with the staining technique! haha. The darn thing looks like it was dipped in chocolate! I'm thinking of going over certain areas with black paint for contrast.

Any suggestions or advice to help save this thing would be greatly appreciated!

I make these for myself, I'm not trying to sell them or anything.

Thanks!

Picture with no flash. Which is how I wished it actually looked.

Picture with flash, which, sadly, is much closer to how it really looks...
