I was hesitant to make this a thread, but I figured I might as well, because I've been wondering this for a while.
So I've been watching this guy on youtube for a while, he goes by shurap, he's a Ukrainian guy that specifically does various Damascus blades. I love the videos, and the end product is usually quite nice looking. That's besides the point though.
What I'm wondering is, why does this guy sometime put a block of wood on his anvil, and hammer the piece on that. It seems like he usually does this on his initial heat, when he does do this. I've never got an answer when I asked him.
I was wondering what the purpose would be? If anyone here knows, or has an idea, I would be grateful for an explanation.
