rust bluing a blackhawk.

Looks great! Thanks for sharing. Interesting the difference in blue depth on the gripframe versus the rest, and that is consistent with my experience as well that the different metals take any kind of blue process differently.

Yes, the grip frame and cylinder took the bluing much better than the cylinder frame did.

Looks great sheepdog, how many carding steps and what did you use for carding?

I followed the directions on Laurel My which said to use a rough cloth like denim, so that's what I used, that and some copper and nylon brushes for hole and tight spots. I did the process 6 times.

That looks great! 100 year's worth of honest wear in half the time (and honesty)!
