Any Dentists?
Hey a question for the dentists among us. Will smoking cause Periodontitis? I know, not a question asked too often in a pipe smoking forum, and not that it'll necessarily stop me from enjoying the pipe, but still, I'd like to know Thanks, Todd- atjurhs

Dull to Shiny
SUCCESS! I melted together 1 part black shoe polish with 7 parts pure carnauba. After 3 coats of Fiebing's black leather dye, I wasn't happy with the color of the pipe, just not black enough! So I started thinking and after 14yrs in the Marine Corps, the idea came to, why not try black boot...- atjurhs

How Could Someone Make Their Own Navy Flake
So I can announce "somewhat success". The Chonowitsch T167 has been soaking in a coconut rum for a little over 2 weeks. Last night I began the drying process. All day long I looked forward to trying it out tonight... The rum did change the flavor of the T16, but not as much as I had hoped, but...- atjurhs

Hi guys, I got a new pipe that I've really enjoyed smoking with all different tobaccos! Question, I've been smoking the same pipe for 4 days in a row, besides jealousy by the other pipes in my collection, is there really any need to switch it out, and give that one a break? Thanks for your... -
Shiny to Dull
davet, I went to my local hobby shop, got a can of Dullcote, just like you said. Applied a a super light coat, and then aggressively rubbed in some more tobacco ash (hoping the Dullcote would act like a glue holding the ash to the bowl's surface), and then sprayed it with another light (not as... -
Shiny to Dull
I haven't been too successful in making shiny to dull. Then while enjoying a smoke I thought, you know, the inside of the bowl is just the color I want the outside of that pipe to be, hmmm... After the bowl was finished I took the ash in hand and smeared it all about the shiny pipe and rubbed it... -

All that put aside, The pipe has been sanded with 800grt, and buffed with a felt pad on the end of a Dremel. Tonight it was coated with Fieblings black leather dye, and will be allowed to dry. After it dries, I'll probably buff it again with the felt pad, then give it another coat of...- atjurhs

You can tell someone to go to hell, and if you say it right, they'll look forward to the trip. I have a thick enough skin, but I shouldn't have to in a place where you just come to chat. btw, I followed your advice on the Shiny to Dull thread and it didn't come out as dull as I've seen other pipes.- atjurhs

So I've been doing a fair amount of reading on finishing wood items to a high gloss state, and here are the steps I've found. However none of my readings have been specific to Briar woods, nor the amount of heat pipes are subjected to. 1 - Sand, and sand again, starting with 600grt then...- atjurhs
