Welcome from Missouri! My one great grandchild and my grandchildren are a big part of my life, especially as I help homeschool some of them. Hope you enjoy the forum!
I've been reading about it here on PM and just this morning, I finally bought it. The 4.5 fl. oz. each G/Flex and the System Three black pigment came to $58. I have several pipes to use this on, so I think it will pay for itself over time.
Here's a project I'm working on. I'll be rebuilding the bit with black CA. It's a smallish pipe, 5.25 inches, and other than the stamping visible in the photo the only other marking is the number 43.
I really enjoy Sutliff Barbados Plantation--"sweet Barbados rum, smooth and rich" (from the label). It smokes pretty wet, so I won't put it in just any pipe.
Welcome from Kanas City! I do some pipe restoration as a hobby, and I really enjoy briar--it's variety of grain, it's ability to recover from neglect, and it's potential for silky smoothness and deep shine.
