			Why is it that when you do not have any money you always see good suff for sale?  After perhaps one too many I gambled on this.  As you can see the ebay pictures were far from encouraging.  A deal was struck even though I should not have.  93cm long and heavy.  No pain no gain is the saying.  I have never found such a thick coat of varnish before, looks okay now.  It is not African, I can only assume it is Melanesian which cool for me.

	I like it but I really can't tell if it's Melanesian it is just too general in form could be from any where?  |

			Yes it does seem to be brim full of male pride.  Somehow I do not think I need to test the wood on this piece.
