Okay, where do I start? The thing is… (hello, old thing)… that I have been neglecting my tiki carving for a while now. I decided to get back into it, and I finished this guy. My clear varnish was dried out, but I still had some of that varnish and wood stain mix in a little can, left over from that corn hole game… oh, Google it… that I made for my older daughter’s wedding.
On the plywood game, the stain came out as a nice redwoodie color. But, either because the can was old, and the color had darkened, or because of the already darker wood of the tiki… it did come out a little… okay, I’m not saying any of you were going to call me a racist, the title was a poke at Trump’s comments after his recent ‘shit hole’ remarks… but, I swear, that isn’t a tiki that is making a statement of any kind. It is just a tiki.









Oh, sure, now you going to say that some of the tikis you carve are black…
I only carve ebony… and ivory… black tikis matter!
