Planning to make a wrongko

Johan van Zyl · 13th May 2017, 08:38 AM

Thank you, all - you have once again given me much to ponder on. And while I ponder, it is a good hint that I use the time wisely, to carry on even further with the preparation of the wood before shellacking or oiling or whatever needs to be done. I'll practice on spare wood as you suggest.

I have already attached the little rim of the buntut, and it looks cool. Please give me a few days for completion, then I'll try to post a few really nice final pics.

(The Bugis keris seemed very satisfied with its "dress" as I slid it in. So much so that I even had to coax it gently with my thumb to get it out again!)

((Yes, yes, you're right, that's just me bragging! Well, at least the fit is good.))
