Cool morning for forging

It's been a few weeks since I was in the shop but was able to get out and start on a blade this morning. I cut a section of a twist damascus billet I got from Benjy and went at it. Here are some photos of the progress so far. After gettting it profiled and sanded I heated it up and I'm letting it cool in a bucket of vermiculite before doing the heat treat.
