"white is not a color"...oh, sooo true, however, using white/cream next to dark brown is like putting orange next to blue, or yellow next to purple.
Nice grouping Bill. Those 2-3 footers will ship well too.

Great work! I love your squat little tikis! I also like your Marquesan tikis with the eyes on either side of the head! Great headdress with the plant! aLoHa!

Luv the tribal patterns. What is the white stain you guys are using? Like a white deck stain or white wash? Are you finding it difficult to stain white over brown? Thanks!

Thanx Benz. Fast? It's been years! 
Jen, right back atcha! I luv yours!
surfin and big daddy, thanks!
tikitony, thanks for checkin in!
Big T, it's a wood stain that was given to me with the label covered with stain, so I don't know the brand. used stright outta the can, it's pretty opaque, sometimes I thin it down for a diferent look.
