Free Range Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Very nice, how do you put the aged patina on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.Willis Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 I put cold bluing on them and then soak in bleach for about 10 minutes. When you take it out of the bleach it will be rusty. Just scotch brite it off and oil it good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian.pierson Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 S. WIllis, Do you redrift the eye to a more traditional teardrop? The work looks great and I have a couple of old beat up ball peens that I am thinking of retooling. That might be the trick for around camp for kindling.
