Whoever came up with "Damasking" for making brush swirls has likely 
never seen damascene steel.

http://www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/def_en/kap_5/advanced/t5_1_1.html
has a few examples if you follow the links, it also explains the 
differences between the various types of different techniques that are 
labeled "damascene".

Also, check http://www.damasteel.se/pattern/pattern.htm for pattern 
welded damascene steel.
