Taiahas were traditionally made from native hardwoods, like matai or tawa. Nowadays, replica taiahas may be made from New Zealand Pine. You can see some examples of taiahas at www.shopenzed.com
The weapon you are referring to is likely a "mere" or a "patu," which is a traditional Maori club used for close combat. It is typically made of wood and has a sharp point at one end for stabbing and a flat edge at the other end for striking. These weapons were important in Maori warfare and were also used during ceremonial performances.

Depends what type of weapon - Taiaha - maipi - hani - Wooden weapons like in a Haka. rakau - weapon
Main ones I remember are:- Mere: A shortish flat club usually made from bone, green-stone or wood. Taiaha: The one people will recognize the most. A long club, usually 5 feet long or longer. MERE: traditionally made from Pounamau (prized new zealand hard stone, green in colour) single hand held weapon in the shape of a flat club. blunt edges, that with the right movement can cleave the top of your skull right off. Patu: made from bone and wood. similar shape to the Mere, but alot of them have a gap in one side of the weapon that is used to hook onto body parts and used to inflict wonds that way. Taiaha: the most recognized, and hailed as the greatest dual handed weapon of ancient times. Mau raku is the martial art that teaches you to use strength speed agility and reflex. spear headed and round bottomed, the Taiaha is made specifically to the warrior that is using it. usually cut from the floor to the chin, is usually carved from hard wood, and at the bottom of the spear head they attached feathers that were used to distract the enemy in battle to give you the edge. Shark Tooth Club: club in design, with shark teeth usually forced into a pre-ground groove along one side, usually held in place with stiffened Kauri gum.. this acted as a cutting weapon, and could dislodge teeth causing infection. Sting ray Spear: im not truly convinced this was used, but was the dried tale of a stingray that was attached to a pole, and would detach in you opponent.
There are actually three: the arero (tongue), used for stabbing the opponent and parrying; the upoko (head), the base from which the tongue protrudes; and the ate (liver) or tinana (body), the long flat blade which is also used for striking and parrying.
The Maori warrior on the reverse of the New Zealand Shilling does not represent a particular individual. All New Zealand coins have a uniquely New Zealand image, or something relevant to New Zealand history on the reverse. The reverse of the New Zealand One Shilling coin shows a crouching Maori warrior carrying a taiaha.
