CLUB LIKE UTENSILS NON WEAPONS

Hi Billman,

A lot of those are poi pounders from Hawaii. They get used on relatively soft stuff (like pounding taro into poi), and they are used with a wooden board as the anvil. They're used for pounding other foodstuffs, and they come in a variety of grades and materials.

In the back of my mind, I have this faint memory that the Bishop Museum has a pikoi made from a poi pounder. Does that ring any bells?

Best,

F
