wood ?

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

Hi Danny,

Help me out. What is the strip in the middle of the pendok ?
is it wood ?

The hilt material could be also kemuning, we have had a discussion about different woods but I can't find it anymore.
The small strip in the middle of the pendok seems to my eyes from wood, I have had a keris with the same strip. But Danny will tell us what it is.
