Got to add these pics from "The Art of Eastern Australia" David Petty collection. of other clubs with European metal additions.. I do not know what region my pieces come from but it is not the first time I have seen the use of this texture to the wood. The book of the "Petty" collection has very loose ideas of what provenance is, so make of it what you will. I did feel my pieces were rather inferior but I am not so now, they would look just as cool photographed this way?
