Here's a recently completed Sali (actually one I started months ago at coon tiki but had to put down for other stuff) for our own man on the high seas JTD. This is the club I have carved so many of and based my logo on...The Fijians had a nasty little habit of inlaying the teeth of their vanquished foes into their clubs, sort of like notching. The 7 "teeth" in this club are actually pieces of yak bone that I modified with a burr to look like molars. This one is in cherry, one of my favorite woods, and had some interesting old worming on the rear of the club which I mostly left in...makes the club look really old. Aloha!
