I have recently purchased this cool Jeantet brush carved billiard. It was cleaned when I got it. I did a final salt alcohol soak, ran hot water and alcohol through and it satisfactorily cleansed. I will do coffee grounds to make sure it’s not haunted.
Now the question; looking at the images, the rim is sort of flattened out or worn of its carving. I am wondering if I
A) Try to sand it gently smooth and have a contrasting rim and bevel.
B) Just wipe it clean and stain it black? Will I then need to restain the rest of the stummel?
C) Just leave it alone? Although I’m not in love with how it looks currently.
I am relatively new at cleaning up, by no means have great handy skills, so any suggestions please keep in mind beginner skills.
lastly pipe was $12.00 so I’m not going to loose my mind if I experiment a bit.
thanks in advance.
