The most common tool I see that is popular in woodturning is the

finish is acheived by rounding the heads of the needles. I see lots of
this on vases, pots, bowls, etc.

Go to WoodCentral. They were just discussing this on the woodturning
forum.

The second one is closet to what I was thinking of, tho the work I saw
had rounded pebbling and an apparently nonrepeating pattern.

I get the feeling that I ought to post a pictrue of this somewhere.
