it looks grainy (the base, inside) because I sandblasted it - both to rough up the surface and to try to get rid of minor burrs after i was done milliing.
I made the 'half-bowl' shape in the center by plunging a 5/8 or 9/16 (don't remember) ball mill into the center, to half its depth, BEFOR i milled all the individual pillars.
