I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

Posted

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.

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!

Ok, so as to not look like a post-count entry, I'll elaborate on the single word above's intended meaning. Chris, I've loved seeing your work you post on here. The attention to detail and quality is awesome. The artistry is beautiful. Seeing that much of it at one time was inspiring. Please, please keep it up and continue gracing us with pictures of the fruits of your labors.
