Also, for my tastes i would stain the blade darker.

 Hi David
Thanks for advice, i almost overlooked on that part about rust and mention it is not final product. 
This is not the final bilah condition i assume but i will ask. Currently it is sent to get warangka made and also a Balinese painter needs to paint on the scabbard etc.
