Is your wedge pin seriously crooked? Hard to say for certain in the pictures. The sort of speckled pitting on the one side does have a certain look to it. Now if you could figure out how to selectively do it on purpose...
I offset it towards the bottom, but its pretty even on both sides. Maybe off just a tiny hair, and thats why a drill press was the next thing on my list. And yeah i was thinking the same thing about the pitting, looks kinda good in a way!
