Fantastic work on both pieces! I really like the rustic/tribal look!

 

[Todd Robbins]

That is one sweet pair of blades!

 

[Storm Crow]

Very nice! Right up my alley. What are you using to seal the wraps?

 

[macmiddlebrooks]

I like how "low key" they both look...not look-at-me flashy, but blend in and not look too conspicuous.

.. Parang and knife for my friend Theo ..

Very nice works

I say that those are parang and golok :thumbup:
The long one has the basic features of a Parang Lading.
And the short one has the basic features of a Golok Rembau.
Theo surely will be very happy having and using the pair in Amazon

Congrats to both of you

Thanks! Storm Crow: I used epoxy resin with charcoal powder

 

[Loosearrow]

Very nice. Tribal looking.

My first attempt to make black sealant for my hemp cord wraps was charcoal in clear shellac; I didn't get the charcoal into a fine enough powder. I ended up using a bottle of India ink added to it to make "black shellac". Glad to see my original idea had merit.

 

[Turtle81]

Shellac isnt good proof, he scratch easily .Sweat from hands etch him. For painting i used wood stain

Those are both very good looking blades. Thanks for the pics.
