Need a good Book on Patinas, metal finishes and Textures Suggestions?
Does not need to be knife related but needs to have really usefull info on a good variety of metals... or Metal and different materials combinations
My inner demons are calling me to really mix up the materials this year :topsy_turvy:

I too have been searching for a similar resource and just found this which looks like just what I was looking for.

Pretty much anything by Tim McCreight. I have his Custom Knifemaking, The Complete metalsmith and Fundamentals of metalsmithing. Very good books.

Not a book but a very useful resource...
