Restoration Palembang

Got this Palembang keris in pretty bad condition - the finish on the sheath was worn off in many spots, showing patches of wood underneath. The original hilt was trashed. The blade was rusty and sad. The fit to the sheath needed some filler repair to fit perfectly. But here it is -- after 7 nights (+ some weekends) of hard work (and bleeding fingers/peeling skin)!

Enjoy!
