Not sure how it is formed though.

Thank You BluErf,
the 'smooth sand' do not bother me any way.
I'm quite pleased with the warangan work.
the black colour seem strong and deep. specially after I put some keris oil on it. I took tho pisture immediately after the oiling, and it result nicely.

here are some pictures before the warangan process. I hope you all enjoying the picture as I do.

the third picture shows some lines as a result of the forging process.
really love those lines. I've been looking for keris with lines.
