Great work man, but I would consider going back over it with a different tool.
It doesn't look bad, but theres so much rustication on this one, it starts to get monotonous.
Some areas a bit deeper or areas of wider "divots", different shapes just to give it more character.
Check out this link for a medieval briar torture tool ; http://tiny.cc/v1gm8
Maybe going back over it with something like this would give it a more natural surface ?
I read somewhere a goal of rustication is to make a finish that looks natural, and that leaves you guessing what in the world was used to acheive the look.
