The before and after of my anvil face after I stopped using a wire wheel on it

After 6 months of polishing that thing like a car hood, I finally let it rust up a bit during a rainy spell in Portland and now my hammer blows land way flatter with way less bounce, anyone else found that a little patina actually helps your work?

Dave had it right, a little surface rust quiets the ring and cut down rebound too.

My buddy Dave left his anvil out in the rain for a week and said it stopped bouncing like crazy.
