Sorry for my misinterpreting, Andrew

Very hard (for me) to improve pictures. Looking again with a naked eye, there is too much texture in its profila to be wood. Also the hole is not concentric as that done with a drill. I will take for certain your inclination that it is bamboo.

Hello Fernando,

yes, agree with Andrew, it seems to be bamboo.

It is bamboo. Structure of the wood, the hole and the end part of the hilt. 100%.

While I suspect it is Kachin, I'm not sure it would necesarrily be Jinghpaw.

Nice dha by the way Fernado! I like the herring bone weave on the handle and the engraving on the handle is nicely done. Thanks for sharing!
