Karwells,
Hey why does your barrel, in photos 2 & 3 look  look like it is Damascus!

& Hey saw that brew your drinking .... got to move up to a higher ABV! At least that what us old timers do!
$#*! it is our Independence Day! ( or should I say weekend.... not much serious work getting done here in my shop!)
Heh! Heh! Enjoy!

Ok I have done the same after laying down some heavy bluing & wrapping the barrel in cotton batting material dipped in clorox...@!*% if it doesn't look like DamasK!
