danny1976 · 24th September 2010, 11:02 PM

Hello,

Hope there are some wood experts here :-)

I have a keris but i would like to know the name of the wood used for the wranka , and the name of the wood that is used to make the ukiran the weight of the ukiran is more than what you feel more often .

Another quistion , on the pendok there is a kind of brownish collor , is this just
oxidation or could it be a kind of lacker or something .
never see it before on koper pendok.its difficult to see on the photo,s .

regards,

danny

Hi Danny,

the wrongko could be kayu timoho, the hilt could be from kayu trembalo. The brownish coat on the pendok blewah seems to be just oxidation.

The hilt wood seems to be kemuning to me, but it is of course just a guess. A nice hilt.

Yes, the pendok Blewah does seem to have a lacquer or some kind of Lac finish .
Can you remove the pendok from the gandar without damaging anything ?

If so, clean with pure alcohol, or acetone and polish .

Maybe there's plate or German Silver under that crust .

Hello Danny,

So that is where it went that fast

Too bad, i was trying to get it too.

I think the pendok has lacquer on it.
Be careful with the tortoise / turtle strip under the pendok.
it will be thin and fragile.
(I assume it is turtle, right?)

Very nice catch.

Best regards,
Willem

IMO the hit is Kemuning, the gayaman could be timoho, the pendok has no lacker but oxidation, i don't see turtle in the middle ... seems timoho wood again
Good Sarong and hit
