Well here is your chance to try something different. If the crack is that bad, fill it and try painting it with acrylics instead of stain. Hell you may just discover a way of finishing your tikis better than the way your doing it now. My tiki was painted with dark brown acrylic than I sanded it losely to take off some of the paint. I then painted it with a burnt sienna wash. In my opinion nothing is ever ruined. There is always a way to fix art. You need to remember your art is yours and there are no rules. We expect to see the severly cracked tiki completed.
