Mokume Gane is Japanese for wood grain metal. Alternating layers of metal are fused together in a forge, repeatedly hot forged down into a thin layer called a billet, which is then manipulated to form the patterning. This Mokume Gane piece is from a billet of layered copper and nickel silver, made by me through the patient instruction of Ted McDonah and Lauren McAdams. I also used Ted's patterning technique.
