I love the tool marks, but can't help adding I think the parts would have looked better if they had been tumbled and then black anodized. I did my apprenticeship in an Army Arsenal and all the aluminum parts, some of which were very complex were prototyped on pre CNC machines, like the 40mm Grenade Launcher and most mortar recoil mechanisms. They were some incredible craftsmen. The final operation was as I suggested to apply a protective finish. I have always liked that look where you can barely see the tool marks and it looks like the metal was just born that way.
