A series of drilled depressions along the side edge of the handle at one end creates the grooved ridge in which the fifteen wii n bakoa slot in securely lashed with kora (coconut fibre cordage). Two additional perforations are drilled at the grip end for loops of te kora (coconut sennit) to thread through for suspension. The wii n bakoa are natural in colour, while the wooden handle and te kora are dark brown in colour.
