I have a Datu NW Borneo Barong I wish to restore for my collections...if Datu is still the correct term in these regions too?

The resto is pretty simple but at the same time requires a skill set I do not yet have but am willing to try.

I am looking to have some silver plaited wire wrapping done and some slightly fancy split rattan wrapping replaced...

Are there any good links or pointers that can be provided? The image shows the type of silver plaiting I am thinking of.

With thanks

Gavin
