Hey folks.I couldn't decide if this shoud be in this forum or the pipe maintenance forum. Does anyone have a light colored or naturally colored pipe? Pics? I have an old Dr. Grabow Omega stripped down to bare wood (it's my practice pipe and I have refurbed it a number of times to practice different skills) and I would like to try a natural finish on it now. It does have a few filled spots which would normally lend itself more towards a dark finish (I never saw them before I stripped it) but it has some gorgeous grain and even some birds eye. So I was thinking of doing a contrast finish by going over in in black dye, then sanding it so the black shows up the grain but gets removed from the natural softer wood. Make sense? Right now the pipe is a sort of a light nutty brown color from being smoked a lot. Would love to hear yuor thoughts and see some pics.
