Dressing an Anvil (or Making an Anvil Shaped Object useful)

I saw a thread a while back here about a Harbor Freight Russian made 110# anvil for a real good price. Never having enough tools and stuff around, I went to check it out and came home with one. Kind of rough, still plenty of tool marks as you can see.

Anvil 101-1 [1]
Here's what we started with.

So, I called on my friend Dan Tull. He said it was a good place to start, but we could do a few things to make it a much better tool. Take out the tool marks, put a radius on part of the near and far edge of the face to make nice bends, and try to make that duck bill into a horn.
