Hammered "wrought iron" surface
I'd like to model a towel hook that I can export to a STL file to print. A rough version is below. However, I would like to give the surfaces the appearance of hammered wrought iron. That is, I would like to put a number of small, spherical indentations on the surfaces, with some variation in the sizes and scattered randomly. For simplicity, this could be limited to the flat surfaces.
I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I might model that.

RE: How to model a louver (or vent) on an appliance
Thanks, Box. That's a good way to do it for my purposes. I'm trying to decide on finishes for the range wall in my kitchen (or to let my wife help!). It is helpful to have reasonably realistic representations of the items on the wall to get a better feel for how things hang together. But super-detailed geometry for a close-up is not needed.
OTOH, I was very glad to learn the other ways to model this as well, to improve my general knowledge!

Thanks so much for these great ideas! This one was stumping me. It's nice to see a few different approaches to the problem.

That's beautiful! Thanks very much. I had not heard of Curviloft before.

RE: How to model a louver (or vent) on an appliance
Ah, I see what I did. The link imgur gave me was to the imgur page for the image I uploaded. I had to get the link for the actual png image itself to embed in the img tag.

We can't see your image!
My apologies! I tried uploading the image to imgur and put in an image tag. Something went wrong. I'll try to fix it.

How to model a louver (or vent) on an appliance
Could you suggest how to model the louvers on the side of an appliance? For example, this is a BlueStar broiler with a number of vents (or louvers) on the sides and front.
I tried a simple approach of creating a 1/2" x 2" rectangle, with 1/2" quarter circles attached to each short end, then moving the bottom of the rectangle in an outward direction. But that did not work.
Maybe some combination of push/pull and/or the follow-me tool might do it. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
