The Lucayans carved canoes, spears, bowls and ceremonial stools from wood. Stone chopping, cutting and scraping tools were imported from Cuba or Haiti. Most pottery was of the type called "Palmetto Ware", including "Abaco Redware" and "Crooked Island Ware". This was produced in the islands using local red clay soils tempered with burnt conch shells.  Palmetto Ware pottery was usually undecorated. There are no known differences that can be used to date or sequence Palmetto Ware pottery. Some (usually less than one percent of collected sherds in most of the Bahamas, about ten percent in the Caicos Islands) sand-tempered pottery was imported from Cuba and/or Haiti. The Lucayans made fish hooks from bone or shell and harpoon points from bone. The Lucayans probably did not use bows and arrows. The first mention by the Spanish of encountering Indians using bows and arrows was at [[Samaná Bay]] in northeastern Hispaniola.{{Sfnm|1a1=Albury|1y=1975|1pp=17–18|2a1=Craton|2y=1986|2pp=20, 25|3a1=Granberry|3a2=Vescelius|3y=2004|3pp=43|4a1=Keegan|4y=1992|4pp=52–53, 77|5a1=Sauer|5y=1966|5p=31}}

One of the few artifacts of Lucayan life that has been found in a variety of areas in the Bahama archipelago is the [[Taíno ritual seat|duho]]. {{lang|tnq|italic=no|Duhos}} are carved seats found in the houses of [[Taíno]] caciques or chiefs throughout the Caribbean region. Duhos "figured prominently in the maintenance of Taíno political and ideological systems . . . [and were] . . . literally seats of power, prestige, and ritual."<ref>Conrad, Geoffrey W., John W. Foster, and Charles D. Beeker, "Organic artifacts from the Manantial de la Aleta, Dominican Republic: preliminary observations and interpretations", ''Journal of Caribbean Archaeology''. 2:6, 2001.</ref> {{lang|tnq|italic=no|Duhos}} made of wood and stone have both been found, though those made of wood tend not to last as well as the stone chairs and are, therefore, much rarer. There are intact wooden {{lang|tnq|italic=no|duhos}} in the collections of the [[Musée de l'Homme]] in Paris and [[British Museum]] in London (the latter found on the island of [[Eleuthera]]).<ref>[https://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=659469&partId=1&place=9650&plaA=9650-3-2&page=1 British Museum Collection]</ref>
