Giving mild steel that "Medieval" look
2002
I am planning to machine some parts out of mild steel (weapons and chests). The look that I am trying to achieve is that of authentic medieval steel. I don't know much about it other than I have seen authentic medieval steel from metallic gray to pretty much
"wrought-iron" black. Any suggestions out there from those that are knowledgeable?
Thank you,
