Damascus pattern
« on: November 04, 2020, 05:54:39 AM »
       I apologize if this has been asked before, would anyone have a method for finishing a barrel that would produce a damascus pattern. I would love to have an honest to goodness Damascus, but it's a bit more than I want to spend. Any help and direction would be appreciated.

Here is a method I posted about, now under misc. tutorials: https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=53287.0

And here are some photos of the finished English Sporting gun: https://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=59417.msg594551#msg594551

Hope it helps,

Somehow, I missed that original post of that rifle and how you did that Curtis, very impressive.

Thanks Fellers!  It was kind of fun figuring out how to make the pattern work. I read as many posts on the subject I could find, and after some experimentation I sort of went at it backwards....
