the way you mounted it compliments it beautifully, and your details are so smooth and graceful. Thanks for showing it. I like knowing what it's shape is for as well.

The Taurapa(stern piece)on a waka has
two strings of feathers hanging down,one string is in the water,this indicates the set of the current,the other is shorter and shows the wind direction,the carvings invariably show
the genealogy of the particular tribe.
