Rebar S-hook

Here is a rebar s-hook that I reclaimed from a junk heap.  Rebar has turned out to be a bit difficult to work with; I am guessing that it probably doesn't have the same homogeneous content as some of the other stuff that I have worked with.  Things like barstock and railroad spikes.  What do you think about the texture?  Sometimes it looks cool to me and other times, I think that it looks messy.  I could beat it flat, but then I'd lose the aesthetic of bumps and not just the messiness.
