Jugglerguy snowmomHere's the piece that one came from. If it were flat topped there would be even more wavy stuff but as soon as you start grinding a dome it gives the layered effect and you loose some pattern. Chuck

Amazed that you can groove that material. Must be durable. And the fact you polish it.

X2 Damascus imitation steel Jsmesp. The secret of true Damascus steel is lost. Cannot be repeated yet. The true old time Damascus steel under intense magnification exhibits nanotechnology tubes of carbon. They thing leaves were added. Extraterrestrial maybe? LOL. Sorry Chuck but in a couple hundred years they may be trying to reproduce Fordite, who knows!

jamesp orrumI always think of Damascus steel when I look at my psilomelan cabs. Just as messy as fordite to work on too. Chuck
