    True, but you might have to skin several cats before you know what's best for you, poor things. The little burnisher is OK for the final flourish, when making a bright circle around the stone, but there's nothing like the tool below for actually shifting some metal.

    It was made from 5.0mm round tool steel on a course, by hammering the end, shaping and polishing. I use it with the sharp edge down and you can see the effect on the flush set stones of this hollow ring made on the same course. Surprisingly there is hardly any damage, even to the texturing.

    Thanks for all the pointers, appreciated. Practice is the way forward of course but a little useful knowledge also helps.
