in this Hamengku Buwono era keris, a full pamor inside the wengkon is indeed meant to show up, and I do agree this would looks nice on the keris.
but in my keris, the pamor material seem to be not strong enough. and it show a kinf of different appearence or different tipe of pamor on each side of the keris. then I conclude that it might happened that the empu meant to make the tipe of pamor wengkon at the first time he design this keris.
the following soft pamor appear in the middle of the wengkon are an unexpected pamor.
this pictures are taken before the warangan process.
My efford to cover the soft pamor inside the wengkon is known as a common practise here. it does need a very good composition of warangan, the right acid level of the warangan, and a good skill of the person doing the warangan precess. we call it "di nyek" not only soaking the keris into warangan but also make some massage in the hand.
I have to wait the precise and perfect time when the warangan solution reach its optimum level. it was by using the warangan for some keris for trial...more keris is more better..until the warangan is suitable for the wengkon keris.
and the result is satisfying.
the soft pamor is covered. the egde shows a great contras between black, grey and green (slorok) the soft pamor are not entirely covered, but mostly did.
