    Nice job, love the purpleheart. Getting the perfect peen, I use a small highly polished anvil, and once the peen is "set", I peen some on one side flip it over and peen the other. I keep doing this til I get the approximate shape I like, then keep peening using less and less pressure so you are not tightening the peen, but merely gently hammering the dimples out of the dome shape. It takes a WHILE to do it that way, but I would rather do that than put tape over a fresh finish, or try and sand them smooth while trying not to destroy my finish at the same time.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.
