These are forged twist samples from 1" and 3/4" STAINLESS STEEL square tubing.The tubing wall is .065 nominal thickness so great care must be made not to heat the tubing too much(or it will crack and/or decompose).After the forging (with the oxy-acetylene torch)the tubes become naturally blackened. I polish ONLY THE HIGH POINTS which brings out the pattern even more.
One of the advantages of using square tubing over solid square bar is that the corners are already radiused.This gives an added tactile appeal and lends itself well to applications as a grip or handle of some kind.
The smaller of these two samples will become a grip for a dagger(I think)and the other is slated to be made into a narrow DOOR KNOCKER designed to fit on a 6"wide trim on the side of a door jamb.The client wants a door knocker but there's a glass fanlight in the middle of her front door so this particular SITE SPECIFIC door knocker will be mounted on the narrow jamb.

The top one really reminds me of a piece of crumpled leather or canvas

I had a new idea about trying to make letters with sections of the crumpled form,if I can control the deformations a bit more. The result may look like Art Nouveau Style.
We'll see if I can pull it off...

Thanks Bear,
I'm in the process of forging the lower piece into a scroll which will be a narrow door knocker,mounted on the 6"side jamb of a front door.
