Wootz Steel? ie: glass as a fluz for steel.
« on: February 24, 2008, 12:21:00 am »

I was researching a logical sand layer inside a mountain when I came across this article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wootz_steel

Basically it's a type of steel that used Glass, Iron, and Coke/charcoal to make steel.  The time-period (300BC) is enough that it could fit into DF without being odd.  Just an idea for more variety..

Edit: Yeah, I know it's wiki so take what you want from the source of my idea :P.

Been suggested before.  This could go in any of the other steel suggestion threads.
