Refresh our memory
Where and how much? I remember the post a while back about it. I would love to just send them to someone and trust that it is done correctly. There is a lot more to it than " just throwing some of this here steel shot in this here sand blaster and give 'er hell"(say that in your best hillbilly accent and you get the picture of the attitude around here).

I think it is just your flash bouncing off the texture and making it look rougher, as the pic with out the flash doesn't look as rough.
Anyway looks nice.. and clean.
