Speaking from total ignorance gives me a creative perspective:

What if you simply took thin sheet steel and brazed it togethter?  Would that 
give you the layers you wanted?  I don't know about forging it after that.  
Might be worth a try, but I'd predict that any temperature hot enough for the 
steel would be too hot for the bronze.

Anybody ever hear of mixing bronze and steel for a pattern welded blade, so
the pattern would come out having bronze and steel striations side by side?
Any clues on how to do it?
