Te Toki me te Whao is the first book by one of New Zealand's most
esteemed experts in wood carving - and the first dedicated to Maori tool
technology since Elsdon Best's Stone Implements of the Maori (1912).
Building on a lifetime of study and experience, Clive Fugill provides a
complete historical record as well as a practical guide in the use of
Maori tools and technology. The book traces the mythical origins of wood
carving and stone implements in the Pacific, location and use of
materials in New Zealand, the manufacture of tools, and how to use them
in making works in wood, stone and bone.
Illustrated with over 80 of Clive's drawings, the book also features
colour photos by Chris Hoult.
