I removed the how-to because it was teaching material and did not belong in an encyclopedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by LinuxTheKid (talk • contribs) 04:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Translation
The article says mokume-gane literally translates as wood eye metal, where wood eye refers to burls. This is not quite correct. Mokume can be broken down to wood and eye kanji, but the word itself means wood-grain. (The "literal translation" from individual kanji is nonsense; it would be like "literally translating" English based on sections of words, eg "alphabet" literally translating into "first gamble".) It also is not limited specifically to burls. The transliteration should be "wood-grain metal" ("metal wood-grain" would be even closer to the proper meaning, but would be less literal).
