Exactly, Robert. A pretty time-consuming process where you'd chuck a wire brush into a drill or drill press and then do repeated "swirls" across a sheet of stainless (or whatever). It would be a very cool finish but perhaps a bit difficult on the (relatively) small diameter tubing of a horn!

Also, your reference to some of the classic boat-builders is right on! You'd see that finish on the guage panels all the time.
