Hi all, many thanks and glad you like it so far...

Willem, the settings are made from bearer so they are cut from strip, bent and soldered so you have a built in "ledge" for the stone to sit in. The stones are laboratory grown star rubies.

Ganjawulung, dapur is pasopati-in fact I studied both of your keris whilst making this one. The ganja is "wulung" too!

More to follow, hopefully this weekend (lots of togog pics to resize)

Hi Kino, a meteoric Moro kris-the thought had crossed my mind (together with a kampilan, barong, gunong etc

)

Hi all, I've made a start on cutting the greneng

I'm going to leave "as is" for a day or two then go back to it, needs a few more coats of looking at!!

Lemmy,
You are really doing a great job. Not only smithing but carving. I am very,very impressed. One question: in your last photos you show us the ganja, neatly adjusted to the blade but on the first and the last shots, you show the peksi (the flame) of the kris blade with an enlargement right after the ganja. I can understand why you did that (to block the ganja in its place), but I cannot see how you realized it.
Can you explain ?

Thanks and really "bravo" it is a superb work.
Michel

I think I found the way: your peksi is not part of the blade but is screwed in the thickness of the blade ! Right or wrong ?
