[TheForge] ALLOYS AND SUPPLIERS FOR MOKUME

[Jerry]

         For a book Try Mokume Gane A Comprehensive Study by Steve Midgett 
ISBN 0-965-7-8 Published in 2000.
         For a supplier good luck, if you want to be a purest, then you 
will be collecting the materials, if you just want to make Mokume for 
yourself as a hobby thing, go see a precious metals wholesaler and a 
sheet/ribbon metal distributor.
         This is not a pound it type of process, even thou I have done it 
in the past, it a cook it until it glows or welds type of process.
         I have a small pile of metal collecting to make some Mokume, which 
I do twice a year, when my wrist is not killing me.
