Ok, so to start off with I am not a big fan of rustic pipes. They just have never done anything for me. However I ended getting a couple in lot of pipes I picked up so I figured I would see what I could do them. So here is the first one. It had a extremely red varnish on it and the top of the bowl was badly burned down on one side. So I filed down the top to even it out and rounded the outer edge. Then sanded it down and gave it two coats of black. I was feeling very iffy at that point so figured what the heck and rubbed the pipe down to get any excess dye off and then buffed it with white diamond. So this is what i currently have and I am not really sure where to take it next. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
