A little Damascus Preview......
« on: May 08, 2009, 04:00:00 PM »
I forged up two 405 layer damascus billets on Wed and this is what came out of one of them.
The chatoyance I got out of the final forging with the power hammer, in conjunction with manipulation from the hand hammer, was just fantastic.
I just got it etched and wanted to share it with you guys.
(Not a bad piece of Ironwood in the background either!)
