Laha is type of resin or pitch that is used in tibet. I find one man that call it epoxy from tibet. That is why asked did somebody used it for bow building.

I saw on one site about kukris that grinding wheel is mage by mixing laha and sand together. That mixture is put in form and dried up.

I'm not familiar with this name. But if you can get me more information, I may be able to source it, as we have contacts in Tibet.
