			First, welcome to the forum Dan! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	  When this would be my keris I would try to change the cheaply worked new mendak against an old and better one. The wrongko I would try to polish or to give it a new polish with shellac since the wood seems to have a nice grain. The pendok I would try to bulging and than polish it. The complete keris will become a different appealing look.      Regards, Detlef  |
