Scotchbrite finish question

[Shadow449]

Hi all! I'm looking for some suggestions for putting a Scotchbrite finish on one of my Sebenzas. I've checked out a bunch of photos and noticed some variation on the final product. Some look very smooth, shinny and uniform while others appear to have a more "antique" look with darker edges. I really like the "antique" finish. Is there a certain technique in achieving this result or is it just a matter of stopping before you get to that shinny, uniform finish? Any inspiring photos would be appreciated.

Here is my zaan. It depends on how hard you press and how long you rub in the same spot. Start light and keep going until you get the desired look you want. This only took a couple of minutes for both sides.
