Meerschaum Coloring End Game
Coal black is achievable in certain pipes but it takes years, I’ve also got a few 100+ year old pipes that are black and came by it the hard way. I’ve got a few that were oxblood dyed as well.- RustiePyles CPG

Repairing a Broken Pipe Case.
A while back @Ahi Ka gifted me a very cool pipe that needed some love (more on the pipe later). One of the things it was in need off was some case repair.
