Amber Listserv / Borneo amber komboloi

[Andy Ng]

Hi guys,

Here's a batch of 14mm x 20mm cylinder beads that have yet to be
fine-sanded, drilled and polished. They weigh slightly less than 3gm each
and are the first batch to be produced by my humble factory in Sabah. I've
been training a bunch of craftspeople and they're getting better every day.
No more outsourcing for me!

Just for kicks, I cut and polished a bigger version. It weighs 183gm and is
58mm x 78mm. This might be the world's largest amber komboloi. When drilled
and strung, this bead may be swung with deadly force :-D

Andy
