Handforged:
I think your tamahagani route makes the most sense. I would break it into the smallest pieces that I could. Pancake those pieces, flux and stack them. Forge weld them and draw them out. With the kind of inclusions you mentioned I would be very careful if you choose to do a canister or canoe with it. I do think that is your best bet to get something unique. I make a style of Damascus called "fossil" where you essentially take all the small scrap pieces of Damascus that you have left over from various projects and jam them into a can. The pattern it creates is very appealing.

I still haven’t gone back to it yet. But if I do I’ll probably layer and stack it

Handforged:
well....just pack It up and send her down to me. HA! I make my living at the forge and although I get to do what I want to most of the time, I rarely get to play.

Bryce:
That’s rad man wish I could. Wood is my number 1 medium.
Been working on some San mai stuff until I come back round to it.
