I thought it could be a good idea (and help for beginners like me, of course) to share which dremel bit (#) are you using for rustication. Like, we could put a picture of a rustication and name the bit usedto achieve that.
Is there anyone willing to start? Thanks!

On this pipe:
Used a combination of bits. Dremel #9931, #100, #106, some tiny engravers bit I got from my brother in law, and then sandblasting. It probably the deepest and craggiest rustication I've done.

I'd guess a burr.

It looks like it might be from a gem setters bit. The bit looks like the profile of a diamond.

Eighth inch half-round leather chisel. It's similar to a spoon gouge/spoon chisel.

Difficult to tell from the small photo, but possibly a small V-blade palm gouge for small wood carving.

Yep. Same basic tool as I referenced above. Either will work to achieve this result--one is for cutting leather, and the other is essentially for cutting basswood. As with most of this stuff, though, the "secret" isn't in knowing the method so much as mastering it.

Definitely. I recently watched a TV series on wood carving - you have to admire those freehand carving skills.
