Stoneforge & Biotic

I’ve been thinking about how the growth rings in oak tell a story, and I wonder if that pattern could guide the design of a blade. What do you think, Biotic?

Sure, the rings are a neat algorithm, each band a data point; if you mirror that spiral into a blade, the edge could adapt to wear like the wood does. Just watch for the grain’s tension—cutting too fast and you’ll just fracture the pattern.

Sounds like a good plan, but remember the heat. A quick strike can warp the steel just like a careless saw does to wood. Slow, steady turns keep the pattern true.

You’re right, heat is the silent saboteur; the steel needs a cooling schedule like a tree needs a rain cycle. Keep the strikes rhythmic and let the metal breathe between blows—then the grain‑inspired edge will stay true.

Sounds solid, just keep a steady rhythm. Let the metal cool in short breaks, then you’ll get a blade that keeps its grain‑inspired edge without cracking.
