Just finished my 4th homemade briar pipe. The experiment on this one was full rustication with a dark brown stain, then a light sanding to reveal highlights of natural.
So far the tool-set I've settled on is: a carpenter saw, a coping saw, a rasp file, a ton of sandpaper from 100 grit to 32000 grit, and a dremel for rustication. I have added a buffing wheel to my tool-set!
