It Also is Said to Provide Good Luck and a Safe Journey Over Water, so it is Often Worn by Travelers. Ka Makau are Also Symbols of Power and Authority, Which are Held in Great Reverence by the Hawai`ian People. Hawai`ian Proverb: "He makau hala `ole" ("A fishhook that never fails to catch"), said of one who always gets what he wants. The fishhook was a primary symbol of concentrated attention, and a good fishhook could attract fish even without bait.

The Entire Hook Displays a Nice Natural, White to Off-White Colored Glossy Patina Crafted With a Smooth, Surface Polished Background. This Makau Creation is Hand-Cut, Hand-Carved, and Hand-Shaped Into a Traditional Polynesian Hook Design Using a Single Piece of Domesticated Beef Cow Bone. Each Makau's Shank End is Carved With and Extended Angled Lashing Station to Enhance the Detailing. Traditional Construction Methods are Used With an Intricately Hand-Tied Lashing Station Crafted Using a Natural Tan Lauhala Kaula (rope, cordage, string) to Further Beautify the Details. The Kaula is Hand-braided Using a Strong, Lasting Lauhala and Ended With a Loop to Create the Makau's Bail. The Fish Hook's Bottom Curved Surface Portions of the Shank, Outer Barb and Hook Tip Point Areas are Curved (Bowed) Outwards to Accentuate the Overall Shape and Appearance. The Necklace is Crafted With a Light, Black Felt Cord Material. About Lauhala: Lauhala is either the Hawaiian art of weaving the leaves of the hala tree, or the leaves so used, or is sometimes used to refer to the tree itself. Lau is a Hawaiian word for "leaf", and hala is the kind of tree used. This craft is essential to the history and culture of Hawaii, at one time being used to produce many of the things needed for life on the islands. The natural color of finished lauhala products varies from light tan to deep brown, and it can also be dyed, although of course it then ceases to be considered quite as "authentic". This craft is considerably more versatile than some other kinds of wicker-like weaving, with everything from houses to pillows being produced. The leaves of the hala tree are de-thorned, washed, baked in the sun if green, although often stored in a moist environment if picked dead, and then rolled into into coils. It is then stripped to the size needed, and used in the weaving of containers, furniture, hats, and more recently even commonplace modern items, like purses. Carved Bone Jewelry Care Tips: Avoid soaking, saturating, or immersing any liquids onto the necklace cord as the braided strands will expand and possibly loosen parts of the whipped knot lashings. To bring back the shine on your carving simply buff it with a soft cloth to remove skin oils and dirt. Bone carvings do not require much care, but to ensure a longer life of your bone jewelry or bone sculpture designs, rub in a a small amount of tea tree or jojoba oil. Never use household cleaning or jewelry polishing compounds on any bone carvings. As Natural Beef Cow Bone is a porous material similar to corals, shells, and pearls, it can absorb all forms of liquids. It is Not Recommended to Use Harsh Cleaners, Detergents, Soaps, Shampoos, Jewelry Cloths or Jewelry Liquids, Chemicals, Chlorine, Body or Tanning Lotions, Ultrasonic Cleaners, Tarnish Creams, Showering, Swimming in Pools or Hot Tubs or the Ocean With Any Bone Carved Jewelry.
