Barong restoration suggestion...

Turned out nice. Though I suppose I should have provided a link at least to a place to get pitch. I apologize for not thinking about it ahead of time. Just figured a silver smith or jewelers supply would have some in your area, as it is used in chase/repousse for silver smithing, and often for bezel setting in jewelry. Anyways here is a link to a site where I got mine. They are located in my hometown of Rochester, MN. I know its kinda too late now, but just in case in the future. Anyways, its fun stuff to play with. There are other sites out there, but I have not dealt with them. There are also formulas on how to make your own cutler's pitch, usually mixing some other stuff into the pitch for added hardness. Anyways heres the link http://www.bernieslapidary.com/indexwork.htm

Once again, nice work, and nice barong.
