    help for a rookie

    It's a good looking Pipe. The wear on the plateau suggests the use of pigment to color the Pipe in it's carving. Pigment coloration is subject to wear by abrasion, while the patina that develops from waxing and smoking is not. Some pigments will also display different hues in different...
