Another strange, non-textbook, parang

Great pictures and very helpful, the striped wood does not seem to feature in the parangs of today. Could that type of timber now be rare? It is a most beautiful wood that might have added value to otherwise fairly ordinary knives. Seeing all these new ones makes my one a lot better than I previously thought. The binding on mine is nylon fishing line. Thanks for the interesting help. Tim
