Thank you all very much for your kind words. It was not difficult to do, just follow the instructions and it happens. Through his excellent tutorial our friend Tom Flanigan has made it possible for the average tyro to refinish damascus. I would encourage anyone with the inclination to try this. More to come.

Hello Mr. Blake, You did in deed a fine job on those Damascus Barrels. Not carding off all the areas around the rib give a striking patina look. If you are interested, I have a set of D3 Damascus barrels that I would be honored to have you perform your Alchemy Magic on. My E-Mail musket@hughes.net. My Kudos for an outstanding job... Dennis Quist...

Mr. Quist, that's high praise indeed. I need to practise a bit more on my own barrels before taking someone else's on. I mean it when I say anyone can do it.

Ed......you did a fine job!

I've had many a discussion about refinishing composite barrels with different refinishers. They have all said "pay attention to detail". This is so true and i always try to pass on the advice whenever asked.

Great job on a first attempt. I played with the process on a small section of barrel a yr or so ago. Actually, I started playing with the process several yrs ago. Gave up after no advancement in a few days. Then after a couple yrs passing, tried again. My failures in the first attempts were due to an excessively strong FeCl solution. When I was finally to the point of claiming success, my process was very simple: rustblue several times (very forgiving in this area) including the boiling and carding, then a 10 sec dip in a 6 parts water to one part common circuitboard solution and wet carding with 000 steelwool. Repeat until happy with your results.

I have not tried to restore Damascus yet but would love to know how you did it. I have reblued lots of guns but no Damascus. Let know your procedure please, your barrels look great.
