BTW here's a pic of my actual wok whisk. It's 7" and a bit over a year old. Out of the box all the bamboo slats were straight but it fans out with use.

Yeah the wok's a little different (congrats on getting a carbon steel one instead of a non-stick piece of crap BTW). I guess you could use the same oven method for it, but you'd have to remove the handles, if you can.

"The beast" looks pretty damn good. Especially from what you started with. Definately can see the TLC you have given it.Here's a pic of the old cast iron I pulled out of that camp box. Not shown is the small 6" skillet; I found that on a subsequent dive. Next to it is the 12" one I've been using for around 6 months now; my goal is to get them all to look like that.

Note there was some rust on the big 13"-er. I've since cleaned it up, seasoned it, and have been using it in my daily cooking to build and mature the seasoning. Here's what it looks like now. Progress, but still some way to go. If you look carefully, you might notice a spiral pattern. That was left over from the machining to smooth it; it's the only one that shows that. I think it's pretty cool... That pan is also a bit thicker than the others, it's really a heavy beast...

That top picture with the pan on the left has a perfect looking seasoning. Almost looks like it's ceramic coated.Here's a pic of the old cast iron I pulled out of that camp box.
