Kutvonen Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Oops! 22hour acid soak with Wootz bar. First (light )etchin for pattern, i forget bar in acid (12%nitric acid, 25%fhosphoric acid) a day ---> Next. Working with these two bars at this moment. First manipulate is done with bigger one, dosens of drilled pits forged up, stretched 30%, I assume there is some water on steel ... More info for larger bar Wootz folder Niko, You have a very nice pattern there.

Janne Janne, Interesting posting, nice work. How big is that ingot sitting on the vise ? It looks very large. Working ingots into bars with a small cross section...then flattening .....may give a very linear pattern?...or can the bar be spread enough to accent the water? Looking at your work and method of presentation, I assume Niko is there either holding the bar or the camera for you. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kutvonen Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Would be wonderfull if there is less than 600km between me and Niko. I met Niko at once, but we have lot of discussion via email and forums. I like (decent )informative pic´s so e.g. PhotoShop is great tool to help bring out results what I mean. I found image processing, when saw few Niko´s Wootz pic´s Both mother tongue is Finnish, maybe there is part of the reason this presentation issue I´m not sure but that ingot on the vise is A5 or A6/2,3kg, but it is Nro:7 for sure. This cross section and linear thing I have my own studies, but not publish results yet. But second Wootz(NH)blade what I made, I use twisting and too long soak(again ) Not Good. 13102010.jpg bit over a yearago Do not try to forcibly, take willingly a bigger hammer.Janne KruunariakaB.Sofa Also known as Jandaus Rahnastohttps://www.facebook.com/borderlandsofimagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
