Hey guys, check out what we have so far for batch number 2 of the Longship line. Need a final polish and some scabbards for a couple of them, but they're pretty much complete. So, whatcha think? ;)

Looking good John. Is that the tiger maple underneath that cool green dye?

Hello John,
Tasteful work. Can you briefly describe the bluing process you used, it's permanence factor, etc.
Regards, Jon

Second that opinion. I have always wanted something like that.

Don't know the solution you use but I've gotten good results using Dijon Mustard, stippling it on multiple times and blending with a fine matt pad. Seems like the same process.
The results seem to vary depending on the steel composition to a degree with some steels changing colour more easily and the acid in the mustard eating into the steel more or less.
Lemon juice being my other favourite patinating solution.
Love'em by chance are they all spoke for?
I won't pretend to speak for John, but I believe they are all spoken for. They are pre-orders in the Longship Line, as discussed in the same thread over on SBG. I know the below pictured Steerboard Type XIIa is mine - I've been following her progress from before she got her heat-treat. I cannot wait to see it once it's paired with it's matching scabbard. :D

JE,
That's a very nice sword. The anticipation must be killing you.

I believe the jian is not spoken for, but a quick not to James@longshiparmoury.com will conferm this. Thanks
I inquired:
John Lundemo & Jean Thibodeau, thanks to both of you for your responses.
It appears then there are a number of ingredients & techniques which can be used to accomplish the same goal. IMO, I've seem too many that are over done, or dare I say, poorly done. John, these have a richer, more saturated-into-the-metal look as opposed to many others which just seem to lay upon the metal in the hopes of making a piece look more historical.
Thanks gents.
Best, Jon
