njanvilman Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The etching really brings out the "patterns" in the wrought. That texture fits the tool. This person likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will52100 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Cool, I've done a couple like that, stack up left over bits of wrought into a billet big enough to make a hawk. Never got quite the patterning your getting. There was patterning, but lots finer, guess I had a little higher grade wrought iron. I know a knife maker that made several damascus bowies and daggers with low grade wrought iron guards that he etched for several hours, then polished, looked like polished silver lattice work.

MAD MAX Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thats nice work, I kind of consentrate on tomahawks and can really appreciate this kind of work.
