A good day

[joe D]

Hello folks,

Wanted to share my results of a good day hanging out making steel at my buddy Dan Graves' shop. Want to thank Mr Berti Rietveld for his kind tutelage on this project and Mr J Neilson for his canister tricks. This is my first attempt at this pattern and I'm very happy with my results.

Prolly gonna grind a hidden tang on this one, soon I hope.

Dan makes some of the most interesting and unique Damascus patterns I have seen.

Learning from a great guy, enjoy....

He certainly does JR, hes a good guy and makes very nice stuff all around. Im certain he'll want me to show him how to do this pattern.
