My second Kamp

Hi Flavio, here are the widths of the rattan strips .
I hope you don't mind doing the conversions from inches to mm .

The three bands on the handle are 1/32 of an inch wide strips; they are plaited double strands to make the bands .
The outer wrap is of rattan a bit wider than 1/16 of an inch .

As I say, if you'd like 360 degree shots of the overweave etc. I'll be glad to provide .

That is an old hilt with a beautiful patina from long use .
Good score !!

Have you thought about staining the rattan with either strong coffee or tea ?
