Started as a experiment in making feather Damascus - a 42 layer billet cut into 7 pieces, stacked and welded and then sheared. Experiment failed but the steel was just fine. The right hand scale is particularly fine. This oak is a one-of-a-kind and the supply is almost gone. Sold on 2/6/2017 for 0175 |
