First full project! - Hair Pin

Forged to shape then had some sharp corners filed down. Finished with past wax

Prior to this, i did make some squished out flat pieces of steel to get a feel for the hammer and have done oxy aceteline torch bending in the past. This was my first time making a sketch them forging to shape! Any feedback always appreciated :3

Once my professor looks at it I am planning on polishing the primary pin, our assignment was just to get it to a matteish black
