Here is my one and only Balinese hilt of ivory. I did the gold work since I could not find anyone here to do it.

And now for something completely simple...
The wood is Pink Ivory wood, one of the rarest woods in the world, and incredibly dense. I took the wood to Bali and had a good carver make this. |

Nice hilt Montino, and nice material.
A few years ago I sent two pieces of pink ivory to Madura to be carved. Pink ivory is a bit like purpleheart, in that you must let it sit for a while after working it to let the colour come out. The gentleman who carved my pink ivory thought he knew better than I did, he ignored my instructions and lacquered it immediately after he carved it. My pink ivory hilts are mid brown. I'll clean the lacquer off one day when I get around to it. Anyway, here's 3 more Bali hilts. |

Incredible as usual!
What is the six-legged animal? More info please!
The accordion-pleated one at the bottom is wonderful too. |

I've posted these before in our "Figural" thread, but for the sake of grouping here are a couple of my Bali hilts. Nothing extraordinary, but they hold some personality for me.
