Dirk thank you for joining.

I got mine from Germany as it happens. I am working my way round the German collections, this February is Hamburg. I will do Stuttgart as soon as thier usual ocanic display is back up. Here is a lot more information on the preperation and use of "Parinarium nut putty" these pages are from "An Ethnology of the Admiralty Islands, S. Ohnrmus, Hawaii university press" The last picture or the colour picture with the parinarium modeled bird is from "Admiralty Islands art from the south seas, museum rietberg zurich"

Just need some nuts.

Hi Tim,

I am located in Berlin and there ist a big museum for ethnography. ( But there was no club like ours

). It will get a new location in 2017.

Hamburg was not so interesting, for thre was a renovation, when i visited it.

Leipzig, the grassi museum is great, for my opinion.

And Dresden is only a small part of the huge part open, only the asian part in the moment, but more than 80 % weapons. And there ist the Turkish Chamber as well in Dresden. This one is my favourite.

So a lot to see in germany, and i hope I can Visit some swiss museums sometime. This year I was in Coburg and Schloß Burgk for european weapons. Emden three years ago, and ...
So less time to see all

Dirk

I was in Berlin this year and I thought the Dalem was very good indeed. Really good stuff on display if you are into the Islands. I do not care so much for metal stuff, I work with it. Yes Switzerland has museums on the list and one more to visit in the Netherlands.

Noninvasive, reversable and hard solution to the problem of a loose head. The only clubs I have seen with the original putty have been in museum. All the examples in the market that my budget is anywhere near all have loose heads. Not anymore one could adjust the colour and texture if you felt the need to, rubbing in some ash+fine grit.

This link is most helpful. Helping one understand the diffusion of metal and metal tools in the South Seas and this is just whalers. You can understand how some places became centres. Some people not so lucky, not on native trade routes, would remain without metal metal.

A nice tidy up Tim.

I do believe I have seen very small Cowrie like shell embedded in the 'putty' too, would be an easy addition with a little heat from the dryer.

Yes some are decorated with shells and feathers others are plain. If you have or can get shells you will have to stick them in while the mastic is still soft. It is a bake in the oven substance, 110c. First I tried high powered light bulb. Then hit on the wifes hair drier.
