thats not a taiaha in afraid... the determining characteristics of a Taiaha are that it must have an Upoko, and a Tinana (Head and body), as the shape of the Taiaha was derived from an ancestor.
But it was a pretty cool piece of bush craft wood working :D
I just made two taiaha for myself of african hard wood. The carving took more time than shaping and polishing. It a really brutal weapon. I just love them.
hey we burn the wood "much larger in diameter" to harden it before we shape and carve it

Not technically a Taiaha, but it would still be a usable weapon of war in hand-to-hand combat. His is more similar to the Aztec Maquahuitl.

This makes me wish I understood Hungarian. I'm interested in the taiaha, especially in why one might want to fashion one in a bushcraft scenario.
