I did not mean to upset any rather too keen sensibilities, in my threads I am indeed most often trying to rid the apparently simple from too long a held notion of primitive and unsophisticated. I always champion the subtle skills of people from cultures that to many are only now accepting as being able to produce Art. "Uggamugga" expresses the ignorance of those who cannot and often will not see skill. I am sorry if I hurt you .

Thanks for your response and explanation Tim. Without it i would have continued to assume that your position was quite the opposite of what you have just expressed in this post. Glad to hear it is otherwise. And no worries mate, you didn't cause me any "hurt".

What I am trying to suggest is that the two parts came together not by random circumstance. But originates from the skill and knoweldge of a warrior or made by a specialist with guidance of the end user. That brings me to the possibility that the galvanized steel part is a requested item of trade. If so what seems a simple stick tell a long story?
