Thanks guys. That is minwax "special walnut" stain - one of my favs.
Did my second art show last night, and for the second time had little-to-no interest whatsoever in my stuff. This whole being an "artist" thing kinda sucks sometimes. Looks like I may just scale back my operation. I only have room for so many tikis at my house, and they aren't really selling, so I guess I need to be realistic.

Absolutely not!!
Dont get discouraged brother...you make some GREAT tiki's. Maybe try some other outlets for getting more exposure. If it first you don't succeed...TRY HARDER!!!
It would be a shame to see you stop creating such awesome work...

Don't get discouraged. It may be the venues you are choosing. If its a small craft fair there are few people walking around looking for tikis. Price pont is another - try to have something from cheap to cheaper. Try some car shows or beach events - and pass out your card to EVERYONE. Tikis are a tough sell, especially the big ones. You'll find the right niche.
