Lol... don't worry, we're not here to criticize one's work. I personally think that you made a good effort to do such. With correction, you would be able to improve on the current, taking into mind for the future.

I have two broken rencong sheath. One had been repaired while another, I'm keeping it 'as is'.

The fittings are beautiful.
Can we see the blade, please?
Was it broken when you got it or it had already been fixed?
The panjang form have similar shorter forms known as bahari, alang and anak alang.

Regarding the late Nik Rashidin... you're lucky to get a master's touch.
I see the fittings are of excellent worksmanship, I can see the 'eye' in the middle of the sheath which is in a 'debek' form.

I will be coming back but not tonight anymore !

Maybe we can talk about these as well, one at a time, in another thread, (if you don't mind).
