I like what you're doing with the round stamp, Dwight, using it sparingly to
show it off. Remember that the details of a textureing stamp are a lot less
important than those of a stand-alone stamp. The only time I have punched down a
whole area in wood (inside a slot, to hide the fact that the surface was
irregular but impossible to get at to smooth) I used (if I remember correctly) a
big nail set, which gave a perfectly adequate circle, everything considered.
