I have a set of Husqvarna damascus barrels in the white, that I'd like to have refinished in high contrast brown and white. I have rust bluing down pretty good now, but browning damascus is out of my wheelhouse. Who is doing high contrast refinishing these days? Anyone here care to take it on? Thanks, Mark Larson 253.241.8190 ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/dK3pCJH.jpg)

Mark, isn’t the process the same as black and white except the barrels are not put in boiling water? What puzzles me is I have brown and white that show absolutely no evidence of being acid etched. And I should add I have black and white that also show no sign of acid etching and are beautiful.

I believe that's correct Joe. I've tried it myself and just can't figure it out. I can brown them to an overall brown color but I love the high contrast look.

Mark, none of my guns with original brown and white have a high contrast but are much softer. Personally I think they are much more pleasing to the eye than the brutally bright black and white. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/62715_403x768.jpg)

Yes, that's pretty close to what I'm looking for. I just don't like the overall medium brown color I've seen on some, with little contrast.

The amount of contrast will be more up to the type of Damascus you’re working with.

Keith Kearcher in Oregon used to do brown/white. He's retired (I think), but Kody Kearcher may be able to do the finish.

Buck Hamlin in MO does brown Damascus. Charlie F of Hill Rod and Gun in MT has someone who does brown Damascus.
Good luck.
