Aloha again TC Ohana!
Mahalo again Ben for your comments and aloha!
Heres another new makau up for sale in the Tiki Marketplace...This one is a custom Cabanilla Makau version of an ancient Maori style fishing lure called a "Pa Kahawai". These makau were extremely well crafted by the Kahiko carvers and used such diverse materials as shell, wood & bone. The paua shell overlay would flash as the hook rotated attracting the fishes strike, thus embedding the barb, Hana Pa'a!(fish on!)
This makau is made from Genuine Curly Koa wood, New Zealand Paua Shell and ancient mammoth Ivory for the barb. Finished off with a nice knotted ridge lashing, this makau is mounted on one of my Hawaiian style hand-plaited kaula(cord.
Mahalo again everyone for the kind words and I look forward to your comments! Again, check the Tiki Marketplace thread fi you want to get da kine for yourself!
Malama Pono!
