Niels Provos Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wanted to mix it up a little bit during my holiday break and made some "Mandalorian Beskar".

Brian Myers Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 That was awesome work Niels!! I remember watching your videos from way back. Probably one of my favorite series was you trying to rediscover the ancient procedure for making wootz. I also really enjoyed the seax you made from your trial attempts. Did you ever achieve a formula for wootz that you felt fit the bill?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it's a two person operation and takes a reasonable amount of time. It's been a couple of years since I last tried. I wouldn't say I got to a place where it was completely reproducible. On the other hand as a weekend hobby, it means there is a never ending list of potential projects for me.

Brian Myers Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I do remember you said the seax steel showed dendritic growth instead of the ripples wootz shows. I've wondered if those ripples came from how they consolidated their pucks after firing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
