Hi Johnny, I'm pretty jealous of all those clubs. Really nice renderings. Have you ever swung them around to see how they'd be to fight with?

Thanks
Robin, It is fun swinging them around, but it is rather sobering knowing what these were used for. The Pacific islanders designed some formidable weapons. The shark tooth ones especially.
Harro, the dark wooded clubs will be sanded smooth and left natural, the lighter ones will be stained a little darker.
Here is an update on the gable figure and a finished shark tooth club.

This one is small enough to be and earring! Wow! What a delight. Looks like you have some pretty steady hands yourself. I'm wondering about those teeth too. Real?

Where did you ever find a quarter that huge?!?! 
Nice work Johnny, your latest work is very impressive. You are one of the few carvers I know with a very clear style. I'm jealous!

Add another name to the "blown away" list - what's the story with the tiny teeth? You got a little tank full of miniature sharks in your Tiki room?
