Flavio,
I think you did very well. Good job!! A description how you made the buntun would be nice and a source of inspiration. It is not the only buntun missing on such a scabbard  .

Hello Henk,
Thank you very much Ok, I try to explain:first of all I have found a tablet of teak wood (like the ones for the parquet). I have drawn the profile on the wood and I have removed some wood in the inner portion with a screwdriver that I have re-sharpened on a file.... Last edited by Flavio; 2nd August 2007 at 09:34 PM. |

....Than I have modeled the wood with sand paper. The last pictures show the buntun colored with mordant dark brown. Now the next step is to glue the buntun with natural resin and than to give two or three hands of shirluk.

Thank you guys
Here is another step: the gluing of the buntun with conifer resin mixed with dark brown wax.
