Last night I sat down at my desk with a glass of bourbon and a nice bowl of Meat Pie. This morning I awoke to an empty bottle, a pile of briar shavings and an unfamiliar pipe.
Piecing together what had happened, I apparently finished the bourbon and decided to rusticate my pipe. With a Buck knife. Evidently I carved all the varnish on the bowl off, then stained the bowl with some Kiwi Parade Gloss.
Now, generally I am not a fan of rusticated pipes, but it actually doesn't look too bad. Just.. carved, instead of gouged out with a chisel. The mostly black bowl is interesting as well.
The only concern I have is the boot polish. Is that safe or should I sand it down and refinish it? It's a drug store Grabow, nothing fancy.
