SALAAMS ALL~ Omani Silver Khanjar Buckle (Ibzim)
Take 2 cuttle fish bones and carve the pattern into each face. Bind both tight with wire. Leave a tiny slot to pour in the molten silver. Re-finish after cooling. Richardson and Dorr page 227 refers. Cuttlebone is ideal being rigid, heatproof and easy to file carve and impress patterns. Regards Ibrahiim.. |
