Haumi kokomo

Haumi kokomo

Ko te nuinga o ngā takere i hangaia i te rākau kotahi; hāunga, tērā ētahi takere ka whakaroatia mā te tāpiri haumi. He māmā noa te whakamau i te haumi tūporo ki te takere, mā te tapatapahi tapawhā haere ka hono i te haumi ki te takere. He pai ake te haumi kokomo - e whakaaturia ana i konei. Ka whaoa tetahi pito o te takere ka rite ki te arero, kātahi ka whakakuhuna ki tōna pūkoro kua whaoa i te haumi.

This photograph shows clearly work being done with modern electrical equipment. This has zero to do with a canoe being made in pre European times.
