FSV,

There are some excellent Maori clubs that are worth consideration. These have a rather simple form, but the skill is in achieving the correct overall shape and in the carving/polishing. A mere made from green jadeite is a highly prestigious piece and beautiful when executed well. See here: http://maorisource.com/MaoriWeapons.html

Exceptional traditional mere pounamu can take more than one generation to complete.
