| How it looks | Raised pattern pressed into the sheet, from geometric repeats to bespoke ornamental artwork. | Design bitten into the surface, producing fine detail and artwork that cannot be achieved mechanically. | Softer and more open than hairline, with a matt reflection that sits comfortably beside stone and timber. | Soft clouds of dark tone drifting across a warm ground. |
| Metals | Brass, copper, stainless steel | Stainless steel, brass | All metals | Brass, copper, bronze |
| Where it suits | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors and outdoors | Indoors |
| Worth knowing | The pattern repeats at the size of the tool, so a very large field shows the repeat. | Shallow by nature, so it wears where hands and feet pass — a wall or a panel, not a counter or a step. | Small repairs blend better than on hairline but a damaged area is still re-brushed across the whole face. | Suits panels, cladding and furniture seen as a whole. |
| Looking after it | Dust settles in the recesses; a soft brush clears it. | Mild detergent and a soft cloth. | Along the grain, mild detergent, soft cloth. | Lacquered, it is simply wiped. |
