From Pathfinder Wiki
The wauke strips were narrow, so to make a wide piece, on had to joine several strips together by beating along the edges. The final beating was done with a carved beater to decorate the kapa before being painted or stamped with native vegetable or mineral dyes. This work took all day or longer, and then the kapa was laid out to dry. So the sun was very necessary. So often it set before the kapa was dry enough to put away.
