When you want to paint your canoe, you burn a bundle of pink siris wood to give you much charcoal. When the fire is out, you get some pieces of charcoal, When you have them collected, you blow off the ashes. When the ashes are all gone, you get a stone for it. Crush the charcoal itself or crush clay, this stone is a govihoo, it has a hole. After that you put it into a coconut shell, then you pour a bit of coconut oil on it and stir the ashes and the oil.
