Two kris

[Battara]

Here are more pictures of the making of the silver bands around the tops of the kris pommels. I draw out what I will cut out, cut, then stamp and chase the bands. After blackening them I polish them and drill holes in the ends where the brass nails will go. I drill into the pommels and hammer the nails through the silver bands into the wood. Pictures appear out of sequence, but you get the idea.
