Pattani - Old and New look

rasjid · 16th May 2013, 02:48 AM

I understand that in the old chat forum there were discussion to keep the rongko as found, and prefer just do some cleaning as required. Some forum member like to bring back to their old glory....

Hello Rasjid,
Which are the new look and the old look on these pics? Personally I find that the natural kemuning wood appears too much yellow and deserves to be dyed but this is only my personal taste

I think, it is generally better to have a good patience regarding such things. In a couple of years your taste may change, yet the process you have done is not reversible.

Hi Jean,

The original as found is the first picture, the wood grain does not shown.

Hi Gustav
Noted your comment. I just like to see and bring back the original wood grain. I do have cirebon rongko as well but due its just old and normal wood so I only clean the rongko.
So its matter of preference.

Thanks

Hi Rasjid,
OK, thanks, the wood grain is very nice indeed but its colour appears quite different on the 2 bottom pictures.

Yes Jean, do take into account that not only were these images taken with different camera, but under completely different light sources. Every light has a different color temperature and unless Rasjid is a professional or advanced amateur photographer he is probably just using the auto function on these cameras which are rather hit or miss. Frankly i doubt any of these images give an accurate portrayal of the true color of the wood on this sheath.
