THE CLUB LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN MADE FROM A NATURAL WOOD BURL AND A TYPE OF WOOD NOT FOUND IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC AS FAR AS I KNOW. THE FIJI AND MOST OTHER OCEANIC CLUBS MAY BE MADE FROM ROOT BALL BUT I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING BURLS USED.
NORTH AMERICAN CLUBS AND IRISH SHELIELIS OFTEN ARE MADE FROM BURLS. THE CLOTH DOES LOOK LIKE SOMETHING FROM THE PHILIPPINES OR INDO-CHINA COUNTRYS BUT THE BURL DOES NOT. WHAT I AM SAYING IS I DON'T KNOW BUT THESE ARE MY OBSERVATIONS.

IT WOULD DO THE JOB WHEREVER ITS FROM GOOD LUCK PERHAPS SOMEONE CAN GIVE YOU BETTER INFORMATION.
NICE SWORDS IT MAKES ONE WONDER IF THE CLUB ORIGINATED WHERE THEY DID
