We do not see many of these here. I have just pick this, watched it for a long time. Finally offered at a price I can go with. These do not seem to offered to collectors as much as other Pacific Island clubs. This new club is 30 inches long 4 inches wide undulating edges. I have one 39 inches long 3,1/4 inches wide with straight edges. There looks to be some minor damage to edges but I do not think a problem. This link has several example of Truk clubs {shorter} all made of a different wood. Mine appear to be made from a palm woods a light and dark palm wood.

Once here I can made further assessment. Also some pictures of other palm wood examples from Sudsee Oasen, Leben und Uberleben im Westpazifik, Linden museum Stuttgart.

This example is basically the same size.http://collections.peabody.yale.edu/...YPM-ANT-143607
