Scored a couple of vintage tikis, have some restoration questions. - Collecting Tiki

She loved them, but thought I might be able to give them a better home. No idea of the history of them, just knows they're old, so I named them Statler & Waldorf after the two old guys in the balcony on the Muppet Show. I used a little wood glue to help reinforce some of the loose bark around the bottom and was planning on hitting them with a couple of coats of water seal once the glue dries. Any issues with that? Any other tips to preserve them? Tall one in particular seems pretty fragile so I want to do whatever I can to help them stick around.
