Judge,

You are correct about the tariff. It had a major impact on the Birmingham trade.

Miller,

The process you describe is interesting. The hardest part of understanding the damascus process for me originally was to understand the geometry of the final pattern. Had to play with some clay to finally "get it".

Just a question. If the billet is composed of individual layers, shouldn't there be a candy stripe like effect from the method you describe?
