WOOTZ MAKERS

This is by no means a comprehensive list of people who make wootz, I am sure I will have left some out, if I have please let me know.

Please note, I have included only people who make steel by the wootz process, ie. in a crucible with certain ingredients, regardless of the pattern achieved. The pattern determines what type of wootz it is.
