Very nice job on the barrels. Is it motor oil on them or linseed oil. Dr. Gaddy used both and I have used both. If you heat the barrels and apply either, they get a sheen to them. I like the linseed oil better because the shiny finish hardens and lasts for a long time.
As Chuck said, the chain Damascus is nice, and also the star Damascus.

Do you remember what the humidity and temperatures were when doing these. Also how many rustings and etchings?
