I just received some wrought iron bars I heard about here from that mill which was dissasembled. Could someone please advise forging temperatures, etc for me. I will be using them for guards and buttcap material. Also, do you etch it when finished in standard ferric chloride as you do damascus?
Thanks!
 
I forge mine at or near welding temp. Sand to at least 400 grit then etch in ferric cloride to you achieve the desired effect.
