What To Use To Take Off Stain On A New Pipe?

Just recently got a Safferling from Pulvers, it's got a dark stain but you can see a lot of straight grain and rim has Birdseye. I am not versed in this, HELP!

Did you get the 215 that is listed on his site now?
That is a NICE pipe.

Or that panel at the bottom of the German section?

The Panel Wy, the grain is so pronuonced, that I believe it would be better suited to a natural finish , it is light and a fine smoker.

You are a boss, Sir. That pipe IS magnificent. I am sure she will just POP once you get a lighter finish on her!
Between Marty and Pipestud I will never have spare change again, I swear. LOLz

Denatured alcohol will remove most stains. If it's rustic or blasted, use 0000 steel wool with alcohol.

I soaked a briar in rubbing alcohol per Steve at rebornpipes (I believe he uses regular rubbing alcohol but its been awhile). Anyway, it worked for me. I left it in for 2 hours or so and I was good.

Alcohol will take a finish of if it isnt thick. If I have some serious lightening or varnish to cut through acetone. Sometimes alcohol will only lighten so much.

Denatured alcohol. Have used it with great success on pipes I have made to correct errors.
