I've been following this thread closely. I wish that I could look over Adam's shoulder and ask him a bunch of questions.

I have been doing some micro analysis of steels myself. Well trying to. I have no formal training at this work and am trying to learn all that I can. I don't yet have Adam's experienced eye.

I have a damascus barrel section that I bought from Peter Dyson. Below is one of the images of it, that I shot through my microscope. Tomorrow, I will be spending a lot of time viewing steel samples that I have prepared. I'll try to post some comments and perhaps photos.
