Has anyone ever ventured out on to a soft lawn and tried throwing these things....ummmmm I know I have....whats the point of having a toy if you can't play with it.... The strength and hardness of an Ula is very appealling to me.
Congrats. Gav[/QUOTE] Gav I would only throw a replica club would not want to mess up an antique.  Lew |

There is a tall ship that ports in Lunenberg called the Picton Castle that does regular sails around the world with a regular stop in Fiji and they have quite a few nice new ulas and war clubs. But they are beatiful sculptural carvings and i would throw one of them out on my lawn either.  They also make stops in Bali, but none of the keris they bring back are ever worth bothering with.

I would not dream of throwing any of my clubs. I thought about throwing one of my African throwing knives but thought better of it.
About Fiji, there are over 100 inhabited island that make up the state. Is there anybody who knows about regional styles or of any books that list more of these artifacts? |
