In Northern Malay kerises, though the coconut trunk would not be used to make any part of the sheath, the coconut itself could be used to make the buntut. Apparently, the coconut is chosen because it has a certain number of 'eyes', which has some mystical significance. I have 1 such keris. Will try to post some pictures.
Meanwhile, here's a ladle carved from a coconut. Carves surprisingly well. |
