Pattani - Old and New look

rasjid · 16th May 2013, 05:27 PM

Hi Rick,
I give it to the worongko guy, thats the luxury I can get here in Jakarta.
For smaller jobs normally I do it myself.
He told me sanding down the wood with sand paper till 1000 grid, and use shellac + spirtus? Dont know in english

then the long and tiring polishing by hand with the dry powder.
I myself using dried automotive paste, if I do it myself to bring on the natural shine.

I thought it looked like shellac; it gives the best finish imo .
You have a good refinisher; the finish looks lovely .

Hello Rasjid,

I personally think that you have done well. I have had the same problem with a sheath which hasn't shown it's beauty, look here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=11592
This sheath was also restored with shellac.

Regards,

Detlef

Nice one Detlef.

I have view projects on new rongko which I will do it myself as a learning process while watching TV.
