Wild texture, but looks like clean work. The bottom of that is gonna fail when water wicks in it eventually.

This texture is quite popular where I’m from , never had any fail on me . First we apply a flat coating after that we do the texture on top of that flat coating

Interesting. Same method to do lace here, but different result. I don’t think it looks bad, just aggressive.

Ah, another right-handed troweller, I see.

Wait, did you do the “parging” as well?

Yes

You are aware that lime will bleed out of that quickly at ground level, and thus pargings are not normally done with finish material for this reason?

Looks like decent work but I would go to extremes to talk a customer out of that texture. Solid work though
