    Are You More Excited When

    I'm not exited, but mostly scared. All pipes I buy are estates.

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    New one. But only because, I'm afraid, that the repaired one can broke with a single drop. But it's doable, I'll give the fixed stem to my friend as a backup.

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    I finally managed to finish this pipe. The pear wood has a rather boring grain, so I decided to go wild. Maybe I went a little overboard, but what the heck. I'm happy with the result :)

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Hey you! I recently bought myself such a pipe - Prince of Wales "Progress". I tried to find some info to at least determine its age. I found information that it was a GBD brand: https://pipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Of_Wales http://www.pipephil.eu/logos/en/logo-p5.html#princeofwales...

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Thank you for the kind words. Regarding the methods. At first I was soaking in oxyclean, then sand it down from 220 to 5000. Buff and carnauba. But now I'm doing something what @Chasing Embers mentioned. But with the heat gun instead of fire. After warming the stem, magic eraser. Then sand...

    Due to the overwhelming interest in this thread, I am uploading another pipe. This time I ground the finish at the request of a colleague. Is it ok? No 7. Mr Brog 124:

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Another ones coming. This time I've wanted to try some contrast staining. First time using Fiebing's dyes. Need to work a little about the process, but I'm satisfied. No 5. Vauen (Dr Perl) 7326: No 6. Mr Brog 125 "Fox": She was black before. I've deciced to have some fun. Before: After:

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Quick question. Should I consider this meerschaum linen as cleared, or should I dig deeper?
