Aina Ohana Reunion
(Salem & Centerville, UT)
"I am the weed among the beautiful flowers."-Uncle B in reference to himself and his sisters. (Auntie M is not pictured here, however, she did teach us all how to play the card game Sakura.)
The Making of Ipu (Hawaiian Musical Instruments)
First, saw off the top of the gourd.
Second, clean out the inside of the gourd with anything sharp and safe to use. We used sticks, metal rods, crowbars and finally a paint mixer bit attached to an electric drill. (warning: the residue gets inside your mouth, sinus, etc. Covering your nose and mouth during this part is recommended. Very Involved Mom and many others were sneezing, wheezing and sniffling for 24 hours after making these.)
The finished product after using a clear varnish.(Tip: Use cooking spray or cooking oil to remove varnish from your hands.)
