Thanks guys.
Doug, I use a cup wire brush in my drill press at max speed........I use that for texturing a lot. I sanded the titanium to 400grit first.
The stainless bolsters also were hand sanded to 400 grit and then engraved, wire wheeled, heated to black heat, and then buffed back. Leaves the black in the engraving and in the low spots(tiny) of the textured surface.......makes a nice finish IMHO.
