I like the band on the straight. But i’ll probably go with Bent Rusticated. Hoping for the classic dremel looking style.
You mean the multiple carves if you will, not a faux sandblast, correct ? I wish DG/Sparta still did the double carved look. My absolute favorite rustication regardless of manufacturer.

Yup, that classic Grabow/Sparta rustication. Now if they only did the double carve again.

I believe the double carve is where the pipe has that deep dremel type carving and is also fully wire brushed

The Westbrook pot and the Viscount pot I have in the current rotation are double carved. It is my favorite Grabow finish.
