Dear Mr. Maisey,

Your first answer was very clear to me; I only tried to explain the reason why I asked that question or brought up the subject. Sorry about that...

@Marcokeris
I was wondering about the sarong and ukiran because, if I compare them with other Madurakeris of the same type, a soft and light kind of wood is used.
They are less than half the weight of other sarong and ukiran.

Sjors of course from your (little

) pic i can only see that the quality of wood's work seems to me good (the carving of horse and the others lines seem well done).
About the kind of wood: between a nice/hard wood with a bad work I prefer a nice soft wood with a good carving.
About blade from the little pic i can't understand because i see badly (for size of pic) the pamor and the dapur but if the sarong is good... i suppose probably also the blade is ok
