Aloha again Bruddah's & sistah's!
Been bumbye on the posts lately but Im back!
Manta Midnite and Pablus! Mahalo for the kind words and Im stoked you bruddah's dig your new carvings!
Gman and JohnnyP...Ive got a few new carvings for you all to spark! Although Ive been busy with custom orders, Ive had some time to play around with some nice Curly Koa and carve a few new composite makau (some of which will be up for sale).
Here's two new PA KAHAWAI (one normal size and one "small kine") lures made from curly koa, Paua shell and Mammoth Ivory barbs.

And this buggah which is abit smaller than the one pictured above...

Here's a new Mano Makau (shark hook) made from curly Koa with a sperm whale jaw bone barb!

Here's a composite "south point Big Island style" stylized makau made from the same curly Koa with a mammoth Ivory shank point and Paua shell lashing wedges...

Now this buggah is the "caddilac" of makau! This is an accurate version of The "South Point Big Island Style" Composite makau...Made from da kine curly Koa wood as the ones pictured above, this buggah features a Sperm whale tooth Ivory barb shank and Tahitian Black Lip pearl shell lashing wedges! The rare and highly regulated whale tooth Ivory material makes this a true rarity and because of fish & game laws, the sale of this makau is restricted across state lines. But, da buggah turned out pono so Im going to keep da kine for myself!!!

Mahalo again for looking! I know there's not much tiki being posted on this thread lately but Ive got few pieces Ill be posting soon for you all to spark!

Malama Pono!
