I have several needle files that I have heated/shaped into circles and ovals. That is what's used for the outline. The actual texturing is done with a GRS 850 rotary/air tool (400,000 rpm) and a #8 carbide dental burr. Once the texturing in complete, I rub a single coat of Tru-Oil into the textured portion, then quickly go behind that with a dry microfiber towel so the Tru-Oil doesn't "pool" up and look horrible when it dries.
