Hey all, I need your help. I am making ink pens for some family members' Christmas Presents. I have made two out of copper and NS mokume. I am now going to go to a different style pen, like this one:
I have stayed away from using my damascus because of corrosion issues, but on this style pen, the users hand wouldn't really be holding onto the damascus.
Do you think it would be ok and durable to use damascus and then clear coat it? Oh yeah, the damascus would be used where the wood is supposed to be. Or should I stick with mokume?
Thanks for your help.
