Mokume Gane help please !

    Hi all, first, many thanks for all your past help ! I have played
    around with mokume gane in the past, making it with solder, with
    limited success. I want to make a ring of solid mokume gane and have
    now bought a rod of the metal from Rio and was hoping someone could
    advise me on what to do next! My thoughts were to hammer / file a
    pttern into the rod, then file it down to get the pattern, then roll
    it down to the size - I want to make it comfort fit shape - I'd
    thought to do this several times as I roll it. Is this the right
    approach ? Can someone suggest a better way? 

Thanks for your help! 
Best wishes, Philip
