Origin of the Kalinga Axe

I REALLY ENJOY PICTURES LIKE THE LAST ONE IN THIS SERIES, I HAVE SEEN ONE SIMULAR FEATURING NAGA WEAPONS AND ITEMS.
THE SECOND DRAWING SHOWS 2 FELLOWS WITH WHAT LOOKS LIKE A TOOL USED TO HOLLOW OUT THINGS. IT COULD BE USED TO BREAK THRU THE PARTICIONS IN BAMBOO TO FORM CONTAINERS OR WATER PIPES. SOMETHING SIMULAR IS USED TO HOLLOW OUT BLOWGUNS. THE WORKERS STAND UP ON A PLATFORM AND PLACE THE MATERIAL TO BE HOLLOWED OUT BELOW IT AND HOLLOW IT OUT FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM WHICH RESTS ON THE GROUND. SOME OF THE TOOLS ARE HEATED AND BURN THE WOOD AND THEN THE ASH IS REMOVED OTHERS WORK MORE LIKE A CHISEL OR GOUGE TO REMOVE THE WOOD. THIS EXAMPLE LOOKS LIKE THE LATTER TYPE AND AS BAMBOO IS SHOWN IN THE DRAWING IT IS LIKELY A TOOL FOR WORKING IT.

YOU MUST HAVE SOME VERY INTERESTING BOOKS AVAILABLE

Some of the pics I post (like the most recent ones above) are found merely by rummaging through the Web

Would just like to share more very old pics, from Ramon Zaragoza's Tribal Splendor. Here's a set on headhunting-related scenes:

The "usually mile long" parade of Igorot warriors must had been a sight to behold as they snake through the rice terraces ...
