Uncoventional Bali Sarong

[nechesh]

All you other State side keris collectors have probably experienced the same problems when it comes to getting a new sheath for an undressed keris. Sometimes we worry about sending blades back overseas and then there is the time, cost and two-way postage as well. I thought i would give a local a try, in this case a Swedish-American hobbyist wood worker. I lent him some books and this is what he came up with. It's not exactly traditional, but i think it's beginning to grow on me.
This project was a bit more than my friend had bargained for. Before anyone asks, he swore he would never try to make another one again.
