Ok Sajen, here is a close up of the toe as promised.
What type of wood did I use? Long ago I used stained walnut for the scabbard, but stained burled walnut for the wrangka. I also did the silver work. The buntut was made separately and joined to the scabbard.
(Actually I used wood scraps I had lying around and I decided to make a scabbard for this kris out of them.
