Brief update - patterning mokume billet, etc

Brief update on what I'm doing: 

Thermal cycling the wootz ingot, 950C, 600C, 900C, 600C, 850C, 600C...

Patterning the silver-shibuichi-shakudo billet with a small drill


Test patination of above billet, once again the shibuichi and shakudo colors are exquisite


Twisting silver-copper bar to form a ring


Better photos when the last two are finished will be posted on my Etsy shop.
