December 22, 201411 yr Author Nice! Love the wrought iron look. Hi will52100 ,glad you like heres another i call Woody lol. Chris
December 23, 201411 yr 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.
February 23, 201511 yr Thats nice work, I kind of consentrate on tomahawks and can really appreciate this kind of work. Mine are pretty plain compared to this, I dont do any forge welding at all, Those are mighty fine!
