[snowbrother]

I'm going to go with 4225. Thank you for the contest, very generous of you. Belated Merry Christmas!

 

[knyfeknerd]

999 thanks for the contest Will.

 

[statusquo]

This would go perfectly with the gyuto I have on order! Thanks for the generous opportunity, whoever gets that awesome petty will really start their new year off with a bang!

My guess:
17 layers; billet cut into 4 per restack; 3 restacks (guess); 4th and final restack is only split in 2 = 2,176 layers

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

 

[JMac]

4200 thanks

 

[Blobby]

I'm guessing 2,600ish. When (not if) I win I'll pay for shipping to Australia. Anything else I can bribe you with?

[WillC]

Thank you all for taking part, and a happy new year to you. The final amount of layers is 11,424
That is 17 layers, cut to 6 then 4 then 4 then a final stack of 7, before the billet is cut in half and welded back together again.
I have looked through a couple of times....Customfan is closest with 10,000:biggrin:
Well done you! pm me your address and I will send it off.

 

[mr drinky]

Yeah, if you follow that route youll find your way to the bottom of many bottles and a hole in your wallet.
