It seems that the picture in #12 is gone by what reason however. So here again!

Proportion-wise, the hilt is too tall and colunmnar for the keris.

You're right by this, when I look at the picture it's the same impression in my mind.

Will look for a other one, the problem is the big pesi.

I think that this is the best hilt from my collection I can give the keris.

What do you think?

Sajen, well done! That a very good effort at restoring your sheath. Your cross piece is made from very good kemuning wood. The grains and chatoyance is wonderful. Your stem is sena and is good too. It is a pity that you do not have access to good craftsmen where you are... Very good effort indeed.

I would like to suggest that instead of the rounded shaped that you have used for the Buntut, you should instead used the one shown below. It should follow the shape of and slightly bigger then the stem.

To help you you can refer to the photos I have included below. The bottom view is on the left and the side view is on the right..
