[kiwirap]

im tryn to carve a taiaha but one of bits of wood split... any idea how long does the wood take to dry b4 ya can strip the bark off?

[taniwharua]

@kiwirap kia ora ehoa, nga mihi, I would recommend selecting a split free native wood, try Maire or Rata especially for a taiaha depending if its function or display,

if display can use totara, Taiaha are hard to come by these days, & most carvers are tested when carving one, cheers

[lunhil12]

Really nice work ! What types of wood is usually used there ? It seems to take details nicely.

[taniwharua]

@lunhil12 tena koe ehoa, the wood in the video is mainly totara (google it) but we also carve others like Kauri, Matai, Rata for weapons & a few others, cheers

Love the music......Just can't break away from it. The carving is so awesome and the fellow at 1:36 does a little flirt so cute. I've watched many wood carving videos and this is about the most relaxed one I've seen. Some will go into great detail about a 100 ways to gouge yourself. Enough to scare the willies out of the new carver. Any hobby a person pursues has safety issues attached.

[taniwharua]

@marle2242 tena koe, to many mind no good for the wood, most of the carvers there would only cut themselves a dozen times over a period of 3years, * if they did its because they mind was somewhere else, ae still love this song, AMiGO black slate.. cheers

[malleusrathmadragul]

I agree co7in...the west is destroying the beauty and sanity of this world....everything is just dog eat dog, hatred, racism, bigotry, and closed mindedness....If people lived the way they did in polynesia, we'd be a happy planet!

[iampeeay01]

amazing.... would you mind telling me the title of the song???

[makeiteasyable]

pretty nice..

[julllliette]

that is pure Creativity!

[shortfusedleathernk]

are these for sell??

[kiwirap]

@dragonsbane151 thanx man my mau rakau teacher found me a hard wood plank going good so far... the grunty bit of the blade is hard work, but got the general body shape working out... then the head is gonna be fun... like im leaving that till last... kind of don't like the idea of standing it on the ground on its head well i work on it... cheers

[dragonsbane151]

@kiwirap best way to be sure your wood wont split is if you let it dry with the bark still on it for a year
