and this lad , with lashed joins , could well be Ruamoko ,
throwing a tantrum in the womb

Very fitting Toataiaha, it was for my teen daughter who is very good at throwing tantrums hahaha - from the moment of birth - who knows, maybe even in the womb. :lol:

How would I lash the joins? Put more holes in him to join him together? then make some flax cord to lash it?

hi KS,
yep , you're on to it , but I suggest that you glue the joins first , to make a more stable lashing . If the join looks a bit ragged , and the glue shows , so be it , thats part of the feature.

Ruamoko , as we know , is the guardian of earthquakes etc( seismic activity ).
He is the unborn child of Papatuanuku , and throws tantrums from time to time (same as your daughter did :lol:).
From the resulting scars (moko)on the earth , we get the term Ta Moko (tattoo).
