				 Kentucky Show Barung 
 
			
			Ron:  Great Find.  Yes, it always feels good when you run across something totally unexpected like this barong.  I felt the same way when i decided to clean up and etch a campilon that i had for years only to discover that it was a twist-core.  This barong does seem to have a somewhat strange twist-core though.  It looks more like a star pattern than a twist as we are all more familiar with, although i'm sure seeing the blade in person it probably is much easier to see the pattern.  Anyway, i knew there had to be one out there, and if there is one there has to be more.  Congrats..........Dave.
