It's the same old story

Rick,

Indeed, the core is light, while that should become 'black'.

Never the less, for some home experiences I think that you created a nice finish. I don't really like the black javanese look on balinese keris anyway.

Best regards

Thanks Gentlemen .
I guess I'll work on the sarong to improve the fit a little; then I'll reassemble it .
I think it's an older fairly high quality (materials) forging; maybe tempered .
It has a nice voice though maybe not the best workmanship .

Another stain recipe :

Sulphur
Salt
Lemon juice .
