That is correct.

Are you implying that you've seen his past work(s)? You make me real curious. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share any documentations.

To be frank, I had never seen his work before. All things that lead me to him were just some articles and pages I came across courtesy of the big world wide web.

The other reason was because I was so disappointed of an Empu from Imogiri, Yogyakarta (I'm pretty sure I mentioned him in my old posting). He originally took my request but communication was so horrible and I had to end it. Strangely enough, I think you had forewarned me about doing any deals with Javanese which I didn't take it too seriously back then.

Anyhow, I am lucky to have known Bli Pande (Pande Made Gde Suardika) and think of him nothing but high regards.

One of the pics was taken during recent Tumpek Landep day on Oct 18, 2014 right before he sent me the Keris.
