Thumbs up Big root stock club

Why is it that when you do not have any money you always see good suff for sale? After perhaps one too many I gambled on this. As you can see the ebay pictures were far from encouraging. A deal was struck even though I should not have. 93cm long and heavy. No pain no gain is the saying. I have never found such a thick coat of varnish before, looks okay now. It is not African, I can only assume it is Melanesian which cool for me.

I like it but I really can't tell if it's Melanesian it is just too general in form could be from any where?

Yes it does seem to be brim full of male pride. Somehow I do not think I need to test the wood on this piece.
