Aloha again TC Ohana!
Heres another new makau up for sale...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.



This makau is selling for only $135(TC Makepono discount price. I should post costs for all my work for sale up on this post and everything on this post not marked sold is still available. If youre concerned with purchasing da kine form me, just check the previous replies to see other TC members comments! Hope to hear from some of you soon and Mahalo for looking!
