....Kou calabashes or Umeke, food bowls, and specifically poi bowls called umeke ai, platters called pa kou, cups and serving dishes of kou were all preferred in Old Hawaii... because there is no unpleasant taste in the sap that would flavor food....

Yeah. This is an ancient Hawaiian whole wood poi calabash-- an Umeke Poi. These bowls made in Hawaii are unique in the Pacific. Everybody throughout the Pacific ate taro, but the Hawaiians where the only people who beat it into a thick paste, almost a soup. And therefore they took these low bowls that are known throughout the Pacific and made them, basically, into these high-walled, almost soup bowls. The best of these poi bowls copied the gourd, and this has a wonderful organic form. Its seat rests on a point, and it just seems to float on the table. Uh, the walls are very thin and its cut out of the crotch of a tree. So that you have a core here... you have a core here... and you have a third core-- which is probably the branch of the tree-- here. This light sap wood that you see here dips down from the rim, three times around the bowl, which gives it a wonderful swirling pattern. So this is a hard bowl to make. Its dramatic, made by a nameless craftsman-- we dont know when-- sometime in ancient Hawaii; but we do know who did the repairs on it, and it has some wonderful repairs. Now, at each core, this is end grain on the core, so its soft and it eventually rots out. And they all have repairs. So your repairs are on these three areas. These were put in the 1880s by a man named Herrick in Honolulu. He was a German repairman, who did a huge number of bowls, like, over 30 years. He repaired bowls for all of the elite. His trademark is just combining three or more different patches-- theres a big wooden patch here, then there are some small pegs around it and I think, over here, we can see a butterfly. And then the butterfly is pegged. So each repair itself becomes a little picture. And the bowl has a wonderful finish. You have never touched this bowl; its never been refinished? And thats great. It still retains a little bit of the shellac finish that was probably done when Herrick repaired it, which you could see on the bottom. But it has wonderful patina. Now, whats very important in Hawaiian bowls is that you never finish the inside of the bowl. But when you look in here, you could see that this bowl has never been touched. I just think its an outstanding piece and I would guess that, if this bowl appeared in a Honolulu antique shop, they would price it between $20,000 and $30,000. Easily....
