Sajen, well done! That a very good effort at restoring your sheath. Your cross piece is made from very good kemuning wood. The grains and chatoyance is wonderful. Your stem is sena and is good too. It is a pity that you do not have access to good craftsmen where you are... Very good effort indeed.

I would like to suggest that instead of the rounded shaped that you have used for the Buntut, you should instead used the one shown below. It should follow the shape of and slightly bigger then the stem.

To help you you can refer to the photos I have included below. The bottom view is on the left and the side view is on the right..
