I hope these photos show the planishing work I did on the left boob. I picked up a mushroom stake and a creasing stake (both the craftsmanship of CLANG) this weekend and have learned how to planish. Alan Bauldree also gave me a new planishing hammer (well, new to me) with a beautiful wide flat face. Luckily, the mushroom stake is almost the perfect dome to planish on. I will be able to plainsh both the breasts and the sides using this stake and the area around the center ridge can be done using the creasing stake.

I know it still looks long in this picture, but it fits me pretty well. I am sure that a couple photos of me wearing it will surface shortly so you can have a better idea. My plan is to planish like crazy.
