Looks great!

Do you mind giving a bit more info on the finish?

What grit did you take it to on the grinder?

What did you etch with?

Etc.?

Thanks
 
Nice work, it looks tough as nails.
 
I have to come by your shop since you are near Austin. Just to buy you a beer and to see some of your work in person. I really like his one.
 
Thanks everyone for the comments!

For acid I typically use ferric chloride.
