Is it me or the forged iron? : AskCulinary

Hey guys, I have seasoned my cast iron multiple times and have attempted to cook with it repeatedly yet it is still not even close to that non stick smooth cast iron like my moms. Does anyone have any tips? Has anyone ever ran into a skillet they couldn’t season? I’m sure I’m doing something wrong. Thanks. I seasoned it by rubbing with veg oil on a paper towel and putting in a 500 degree oven multiple times.
