Thank You BluErf,
the 'smooth sand' do not bother me any way.
I'm quite pleased with the warangan work.
the black colour seem strong and deep. specially after I put some keris oil on it. I took tho pisture immediately after the oiling, and it result nicely.
here are some pictures before the warangan process. I hope you all enjoying the picture as I do.
the third picture shows some lines as a result of the forging process.
really love those lines. I've been looking for keris with lines.
