In old times, Hawaiians made by hand a great many objects, tools and weapons of basaltic (lava) stone, using other stones, very hard, as hammerstones. Some items were struck to initially chip or flake them, such as adze blades and poi pounders, and many were simply shaped by lengthy pecking. Smoothing or polishing might follow. Even sharp blades and chisels could be created. See how the stones were selected, how they were shaped, and how long it took to make many examples during the past 45 years.
