Bali Keris found it's way to me

[A. G. Maisey]

If we wish to think about "original", Javanese blades were polished in previous times also.

In Bali wet sand and powdered limestone were used as polishing agents, probably the same agents were used in Jawa.

I merely pointed out, for the benefit of someone who lives in the NL and may use (or not) the services of people washing with Warangan over here, that in the NL said people don't (to my knowledge) polish blades in any way.

I do own polished blades which weren't made on Bali, so, I am familiar with the concept

[A. G. Maisey]

understood

anyway IF Pendita decides to polish and then stain it

I would very much like to see the results , thank you
