Anything is possible if you feel like refinishing the pipe. They do make hobby blocks. Essentially pre-drilled blocks with a stem. You carve the stummel. Maybe that would be up your alley. I’ve done a few of them. Most turned into good smokers, and were fun to carve.Has anyone ever tried adding a personal etching in their pipe after you purchased the finished product?
I'm wondering how I would go about doing that, and whether or not if it's possible after being waxed.

Oh. I assumed you were talking about a briar pipe. Sounds like you are talking about a meerschaum. You soak it in water. It carves like soap once it’s wet. It takes a good solid week to dry back out once you’re done. There are YouTube videos of guys in Turkey carving them.I've considered it, and I may in the future, but I would just be content with modifying my current one. Any pointers? I've heard you need to keep it pretty damp. I'm wondering how that would work being that it's already been finished with wax.
Also wondering what tool would I use to etch?
And the men are tiny. Because they live inside a turkey. ?Oh. I assumed you were talking about a briar pipe. Sounds like you are talking about a meerschaum. You soak it in water.

Hell, I didn’t even see there was a meerschaum subsection ?Well yeah, I posted this in the Meerschaum subsection .
I was specifically wondering if there is anything to carving a Meer after it's been finished though. Is it the same process as an unfinished meer?
