I 3D printed this Marquesan U'u War Club Swizzle today

Without the stick and printed a little bigger it could make a cool pendant. Here's the steps to make it. 3D printing may not a legitimate art form but not always as simple as downloading a model and printing it. I've always enjoyed the Marquesan U'u War Club. I looked for an existing 3D model but didn't find one so I made one.

Found this image of an U'u

Ran it through a image to 3D program and it gave me this. Not too bad but has a few problems

The side view shows it is too thin

Then there's this "face" The bottom part looks like Jimmy Durante's nose. The two on top look like the upside down genitals on Michelangelo's David.

So I sliced off that face

I thought Tangaroa faces would be good there but couldn't find a ready made Tangaroa. So I ran this pic through the 3D software.

The Tangaroa actually turned out pretty good without any modification. I'll keep him for further use,

Cut off the Tangaroa head and put it on the U'u.

Added a stick to make a swizzle.

Will work on making a pendant this afternoon
