Shawn's forging shed

Now that Christmas is over, I can show a few of my in progress things. Since @CBLindsay kind of called me out, I got wondering if I could make these or not.

So the original plan for them was the twisted W's that I showed the process of making the billet earlier.
I had never done a twist before, so after getting the W part done I quick drew out a normal billet and twisted it just to make sure I could do that before wrecking all the work I put into the W billet.

It actually worked, so now I have these mostly done... I still need to finish grind and sand them, and put a proper etch on them, but they are close.

These are size scaled with what Iwasaki is listing for Wa (large) Kamisori, and only have a quick etch just to show the pattern.

Here are two from the normal twisted billet. (One left and one right handed.)
