In Fench it is named "bouchonnage". You can use a wine bottle cap burned or not I don't remind me. A nice and low coast pretty finish.

I'm still undecided on it's finish, I want to do something other than polished though any suggestions?

How about a "machine turned" finish like we used to do in metalwork at school?

We used to put a piece of wooden dowel in a pillar drill and bring it down on the surface of the metal, moving the metal a bit between each one. Can't remember if we used any grinding paste or similar though.

Great idea, I could give it a go and if it doesn't quite work out, paint it Thanks Martin

Finished adding the different hole sizes tonight and I'm quite happy with how it looks now I've just given it a brushed finish for now but I'm keen to give the machine turned look a go

Gave Martin's idea of jeweling a finish on the deck plate a go tonight happy how it came up but probably would have been better if I could have use a smaller tool, only this was the smallest 1 I could find
