Re-damascus browning is a long, labor intensive, dirty process involving multiple chemical baths, rusting, carding, polishing and cleaning. It will require an out lay in chemicals, equipment and materials.

After having been in Dale Edmunds shop many times and posted numerous photos of the process and equipment on this site, I think this is beyond the capabilities of the casual hobbyist gunsmith, but good luck with the project.

Here is an example of chain damascus re-done by Dale. There are a few other gunsmiths who also do this work, among them, Batchelder and Kearcher.
