Melanesian pole club?

Hi Tim,

I've followed the link, and in reading the text on short clubs (p. 205 and following), I'm getting confused. Since the relevant plates aren't given in the preview text, I'm limited to the written descriptions. In those descriptions, the author pretty consistently talks about short clubs having distinct grips and heads, which we definitely don't see on this specimen.

Since you actually have the book, it would be wonderful if you could either point to the text where he talks about octagonal clubs such as this specimen. I'm assuming I missed it, and I'd like to see what I missed.
