I was permitted to run my first color case project last week at class. The candidate was a early Lefever G grade. 3:1 ratio of charcoal to bone is what they use, and a temp of 1400 for an hour and half. The drop is short, and into ice water. I addition to learning this process, I was required to mill some braces for the tang and side plate screw.

The pictures could be better; more vibrant in person with stronger blues.
