“Closed Book”
Eric McGehearty Damascus Steel, Book 6” x 9” x 2” 2003 |

| This book is sealed closed by a steel clasp; the title of the book is “Failure of a Mission”; and the steel is hand forged Damascus. Damascus is an advanced blacksmithing technique wherein two different types of steel are forged together; this causes the visible pattern on the steel clasp. | |||||||||||
