My experience with large bore damascus is that they often have quite thick walls. Taking .010" out an .030" wall will give you about a modified choke in a 12 gauge, ans still leave sufficient wall thickness, Back boring isn't for every gun, but careful measuring beforehand may give you confidence.
Damascus steel should be homogeneous enough to perform any 'normal' machining operation.
