It depends on the machining / polishing methods used IMHO ... here's a brushed stem I did last year. No before pix I'm afraid but it was well beaten







And a deep H which had been defaced before I got it ... the original steps on the cap centre were smoothed out so I had to carefully bring them back too  :daumenhoch:

BEFORE





AFTER

Cracking job...  :daumenhoch:

How did the underside of it turn out?

Looks the worst part of it looking at the pics on page 1
