Winter Project

[Sajen]

Very nice and a good job! I agree with you by the blade, I think there is not more possible, polish out the pitting isn't possible witout ruin the blade. But I personally would do more by the sheat, real patina you can't destroy by cleaning the wood with steel-wool, this is my experience by sheats from indonesian keris and I also would fill out the missing wood at the crosspiece.
But again, a very niece outcome and a beautiful kris.
