Stone Acid Wash Experiment

[Gliden07]

Got my ceramic media and tumbled a test blade. It's a blank I messed up of 1084, it's not heat treated at all. I tumbled it about an hour then had a thought, I can acid wash this at the same time! I also reload and use SS pins with a product called Lemi-Shine some dish soap and water. The Lemi-Shine is basically Citric Acid. So I put a teaspoon of the Lemi-Shine in tumbled for an 1 1/2 hrs and this is what came out! I really like the way it Looks! Has anyone used the Lemi-Shine for this effect?

I did wipe this down with some oil after I pulled it out of the tumbler so it wouldn't rust.

I really like the way that looks. I might have to get me a tumbler. I'm thinking harbor freight since I probably will not be using it much.
