The base/roots of the tiki are probably not in good shape and may snap off next to ground. Water next to wood doesn't mix.
May need to remove it in the future and set it on a base.
Also need to get much beneficial natural oils in there to recondition what is existing.
Maybe olive oil? IDK. Something which won't prevent adhesion to existing wood surface.
Or do that step after. IDK. You need a deep penetrable product with equal properties to what is applied on top.
Then some kind of penetrating bonding product that will swell and move with the wood.
Then reform and shape the surface.
Paint covers the rest.
