How about this one Alan?
This is less complicated. .. its already 3D carving but is not too much detail? |

Yes, I do prefer that one, Rasjid.
This one I've posted a pic of is an older hilt, and very substantial, there is nothing delicate nor extreme in the carving, it was made with the intention of use, not just as an exercise to display the skill of the carver. This is the style of execution I prefer in Balinese hilts, but it is rarely encountered in recently made hilts. Last edited by A. G. Maisey; 21st May 2013 at 10:13 AM. |

Recently in Bali few years back started to have decent supply moose material.
This is the finished carving, white in colour as well. It will give a very smooth finish as well, better than bone finished. Personally I do not like it very much, compared to ivory- this is too soft. The carving can be done much easier on this material but ivory will last longer. Hope the info useful. Thanks |
