Kemuning
Dear Alan,
I have some info to share. I referred my pictures below. Here in my place, people liked to name it as tumbuk lada instead or siwar/sewar. When I ordered a new dress for this siwar from tukang in Terengganu, Malaysia, I have specifically asked for kemuning. He admitted this wood very hard to find and managed to get some of it. I do not know wether he correct about kemuning, but majority people in my place believed it is kemuning. I provide a picture of the wood before and after polishing. Regards, Ria |
