Cool stuff!

I'm researching swords used in the time of Lehi and Laban and the ores available at the time. I plan to build my artistic version of the Sword of Laban next. I've found some interesting information so far.

Nephi's Jerusalem and Laban's Sword - Maxwell Institute JBMS
"The Workmanship Thereof Was Exceedingly Fine" - Maxwell Institute JBMS
http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/pdf....&type=amJtcw==
LDS Doctrine: Metal and the Book of Mormon
LDS Doctrine: Steel, Tools, and Temple
The Israelites - Google Book Search
Ancient Iron Ore Mine Discovered In Peruvian Andes (More)

For anyone interested, just Google "Vered Jericho Sword". Of course you may find little more than I have here.
