I admire your patrem.

Lemmy,
If you're offering the piece for sale, I would be interested... (hint! hint!).

A beautifully crafted piece, indeed.
Blade-wise, looks more like a Sumatran bahari blade.

Hi all! Thanks for the encouraging responses

Alan-All my own work! Yeah, the hilt is probably the weak point, a little large and the shape ain't quite right, particularly at the base-got a bit carried away with the dremel! Wrongko could do with being a little more angled upwards too.

Alam-You're spot on with the Sumatran influence, Gangawulung posted a really nice patrem a while back which kind of inspired this one!! No plans to offer my "daughter" for marriage.....

Next job (pamor currently in production) something much bigger and Balinese looking....

Well done Lemmy,
Congratulations!
I understand You made the pendok as well. You really covered quite a bit of ground. with very different technics.
Bravo
Michel

Hi Michel! How's your latest project going? That pendok really taxed me trying to get it put together without any dents or flat areas-I cheated a little and used much thicker gauge brass than would be usual, it still seemed to take as long as the rough forging of the blade! (about 3 days)
