Thank you Peter.

I can compere it to this red oak heavy boken. It is quite different there is no oak like grain. The boken has a crude finish in comparrison. At my nearest shop for things like boken and other martial arts kit none seem to be polished. I do not know about old kit.

This is interesting. I think it is okay to make link like this. Micronesian, Caroline islands so the site says. What is worth note is the discription, the coir binding at the handle. Although called a spear it is only 10 inches longer than my club.
