Hello members,
yesterday I bought by ebay this barong :http://www.ebay.com/itm/250913086027...84.m1497.l2649 The pictures from the seller are not the best ones but maybe you can share your thoughts about it with me. The ferrule is demaged a little bit but I think that it will be easy to repair this and I plan to fill it with resin again. Thank you, Detlef Last edited by Sajen; 25th October 2011 at 06:44 PM. |

IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PROJECT TO ME. NOT TOO MUCH WORK TO GET IT LOOKING GOOD AND PERHAPS A CLEANING AND ETCH OF THE BLADE MAY REVEAL A PATTERN. EITHER WAY NOT A BAD DEAL AT THE PRICE. CONGRADULATIONS. I LOOK FORWARD TO PICTURES WHEN YOU GET IT CLEANED UP.

Hi Detlef, how are you? Perhaps you can use a spoon to bend the silver(?) ferrule back into its rounding?! What would you use as resin? (I always make resin by grinding a piece of BBQ charcoal fine, mix with woodglue. But this will turn very hard when dry; but perhaps not so suitable for ur 'job')
Good luck friend. Always a joy to turn an 'ugly duck' into an 'elegant swan' Best, Wouter |
