Keith,

Here's a section of 2-iron English Laminated tubes that were etched with Sulfuric Acid, neutralized, then oiled. No rusting, and the pattern is highly visible. I suspect the rough tubes were shipped and received by the Makers in this state.




Eventually, I colored the section in Brown & White.



Then, I colored them Black & White. They're obviously one of the sections I use for experimentation.




Regards
Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
