Meteorite Damascus

The biggest surprise that I  had with this one was with the 416 rods used for the center of  the dogwood blossoms.  Notice how they all have a shiny halo.  I have no idea why.  Maybe one of you  can explain this phenomena.

Looks to me like there's some carbon migration there that's causing the halo. Same kind of effect that you get on stainless san mai if you hold it at high temp for long enough. This theory is supported by the fact that the halo is widest and most visible on the outside of the rods where they are touching all that high carbon steel, but not so much on the inside where they are touching each other and there isn't so much of a carbon concentration gradient. Very cool!

And the blade looks absolutely stunning right now, that's a brilliant pattern, can't wait to see it finished!

I'm VERY late to the party, but WOW!!!!  I'm more than impressed.  Yesterday I got interested in some of that Campo meteorite and started looking for some. Now I understand more how to weld it, but do have more questions which I will start in a new thread.  THANK YOU for this WIP>
