<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 182561, member: 2844&quot;]I collect and sell Indonesian keris (ceremonial daggers). I use the traditional oils (sandalwood, rose, jasmine, etc.) intended for use on keris blades on wooden keris handles and sheaths as well. Those Indonesians who adhere to traditions have a totally different view of these things then us in the Western world. They are considered part of the sacred world of the keris. </p><p>I mix the oils myself, and usually have enough to care for other Indonesian intricate woodcarvings as well. And yes, if I have to cover a large area, I occasionally mix the oils with the humble walnut oil which people might use in salads. I live in a cold climate and have been lucky so far, the oils haven&#039;t gone rancid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aliyesami, the price of Jepara carvings depends on the size and the market. </p><p>The only prices for Jepara I have seen, are here in The Netherlands, where many people have old/antique Jepara and prices tend to be (too) low. </p><p>I sell my Indonesian art and jewellery internationally, but haven&#039;t sold any Jepara yet.</p><p>What is the size of your panel?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
