Kia-Ora,
I've done a search but the results are less than conclusive.....but I'm looking to see what the carvers here use in terms of the wood they are working with and what they hope to achieve, also the conditions the tiki is likely to be subjected to. I'm thinking a quick summary (inc. photo?) would help in a form similar to this:

Example:
WOOD: Palm.
STAIN: Shellac only.
DESIRED FINISH: Vintage appearance.
LOCATION: Indoor.

Including brands/volume of stain may be of advantage and feel free to elaborate with the process in the "STAIN" section (i.e stain, sand, stain, varnish, sand, etc.).

Thanks.
