Hey Bill,
Thanks for the input
We have covered French Grey pretty well here. Any of you guys have any other finishing techniques? Ones I would be interested in hearing more about that have been mentioned are
1. Someone earlier mentioned a couple heat treat related finishes. I have heard of these but have never used them and really don't know a lot about how they work.
2. Nitre Blue. Again, I have never done this but I understand it is fairly easy to do if you have a way to maintain the salts at he proper temps.
3. Flame coloring. I have done this and find it hard to be consistent with the color. Any tips on that would be appreciated.
4. Anodizing (both titanium/nobium type and aluminum oxide type)
5. A good detailed explanation of rust bluing and browning would be nice.
6. anyone do plating?
If you have a finish you like to use or think is cool tell us about it.
Ray
