Indeed I did. I made the heel sleeker. I like that shape.
This was the before shape:

I also removed checkering on the spine in the direction of the pivot and made it to a mirror finish.

That's too good a first, now it will only get worse

Just kidding, I really like the result and the photography, the latter of which I recently got into. Goed gedaan!

Thanks for all the kind words all

I textures the scales with a drill-bit and then polished it with pumice stone and high gloss polish on the cloth wheel. I'm a dental technician by trade, so have all the items I need to polish, clean and texture.
