    There are lots of intricately carved designs in this piece i found today at Urban Ore in Berkeley. it's about 3 ft long and made of very hard wood. one end looks a little strange. i'll have to take more pics of that and post them. any ideas?

      whatever this is, it's very old and was used for a very long time.

      i'm getting close to discovering what this piece is and it's pretty cool! it's some kind of a very old and used war club from Tonga, Samoa or somewhere in Oceania. i will figure it out soon!
