It’s probably been 35 taiaha since I’ve carved one with pūriri. It’s exciting working with this rākau after a few years of experience since then 🌳 One of the joys we have as kaiwhakairo is that we create our own canvases before we design on them. The only hindrance to creativity is your own imagination 💭 #toinikorima #nnzica #maori #maoriart #polynesian #polynesianart #indigenous #indigenousart #whakairo #carving #rakau #wood #woodcarving #taiaha | Toi Nikorima

Whakairo is the art of wood carving in Māori culture, a prominent and respected role. Many traditional structures, such as the posts of wharenui (meeting houses) or the prow of a waka (canoe), and objects like the taiaha (weapons) are covered in this elaborate carved decoration. While it is a work of art, the carvings also tell a story. Whakairo requires patience and diligence and is a skill that many Māori continue to hone to both honour their heritage and carry the stories and lessons embedded

Kia ora e te whanau v Part 2 of this taiaha journey I've spent the last two weeks in the presence of this beautiful native hardwood - carving, listening, letting its story breathe through every line. A lot of you asked what woods I prefer, and honestly... anything our tupuna once touched. There's something powerful about carving the same rakau they shaped generations ago. Softer natives like Mãtai, Tawa, and Totara are my go-tos... but Kauri, Pohutukawa, and Kahikatea still hold mana in every gr

Taonga Kahu Interesting timber grain on this black maire taiaha. Reminded me of the timber version of Damascus steel. I've done so many of these and never encountered this pattern as strong and consistant along the full length. I'm looking forward to the end product. This one's going to be special. #taiaha #whakairo #stolenfromthemuseum #woodworking #woodgrain | Taonga Kahu
