This is more than art and workmanship to Maori and you obviously are aware of this and bring much honor to the Maori people and their culture. I realize that typically Kaumataua prefer to pass this knowledge face to face but in light of my situation and resources this has been my only hope in learning whakairo and also to acquire my own Taiaha through my own hands.
