Good work Lemmy.

You did the whole thing?

If so, the only weak point I can see from the pics is the hilt. The blade is close to excellent, and the wrongko/pendok looks quite OK.

Lemmy,
If you're offering the piece for sale, I would be interested... (hint! hint!).
A beautifully crafted piece, indeed.
Blade-wise, looks more like a Sumatran bahari blade.

Hi all! Thanks for the encouraging responses

Alan-All my own work! Yeah, the hilt is probably the weak point, a little large and the shape ain't quite right, particularly at the base-got a bit carried away with the dremel! Wrongko could do with being a little more angled upwards too.

Alam-You're spot on with the Sumatran influence, Gangawulung posted a really nice patrem a while back which kind of inspired this one!! No plans to offer my "daughter" for marriage.....

Next job (pamor currently in production) something much bigger and Balinese looking....
