Traditional charcoal & bone case color

[Pawel Janusz]

Hi dear Members,
My name is Paweł Janusz,
I have been doing a lot of traditional wood and metal finishing over the years. One of process is traditional case hardening developed to harden mild steel on actions of firearm by creating carbonized external surface of part that gets harden as quiches in water or oil. Side effect of the proces give part variety of spot colors creating a soul of the gun. I have been running many actions thru process so far, never enough. Some old English and some old American firearms. So far I always had successful outcome and every time process fills me with excitement and magic. This two pictures shows parts after process and parts after treatment for usage and on average pattern as my parts usually turn. I'm very happy with it as my customers too.
Cheers dear members
