Nice work man. How many layers was each Damascus bar before twisting

It was like 37-39 layers before twist :)

BTW - You can count it if you want :) find some star in second row from edge(those are most opened and are complete) and count the bright lines crossway . Make it double for the black lines and you have approx number of layers on twisted bar :) you can add 2 or so before you start because some of them you can grind out cleaning billet between welds. It depends on how many layers you would start with and how many times you would clean and fold :)
