Wow, very nice tutorial on the rattan braiding...definitely gives you an appreciation for the work involved when they have the entire handle like in a dha/daab. Very handy to know as it is not uncommon for rattan bands to be missing...especially on the scabbard of various SEA weapons. Great thread. Thanks guys!
