Meer Coloration On My LVC

[voorhees]

A lot of you like seeing the coloration of meers and since I smoke this one at least 3+ times a month, here is the latest shots of how far it has come in almost 4 years. Totally worth the wait.
This was brand new(fumed rim/etc.) February 2013



As of today.

That's getting some beautiful color!

 

[pagan]

Looking good :clap:

Very nice. Did you handle it with a glove on or bare handed? Did you bother with beeswax?
I'm slowly working on one of my meers.

 

[hmhaines]

Gorgeous! Ahh, can't wait to pick out a bone-white meer and get it started coloring. I'm interested in hearing answers to jeepnewbie's Qs.

Oh my god that is beautiful! That's the reason I Want a meer.
And only roughly 3 times a month? Wow

 

[voorhees]

No gloves. Just clean hands. I did beeswax it about once a year. I did smoke it a lot at first.

Looking good. Whatever happened to Storient?

The guy misrepresented and took money from several forum members. I was almost victim as well. I do have a quality pipe, but his customer service was severely lacking and he lied a lot.
My pipe actually made it to the U.S., but to the wrong person(another victim)and I paid for expensive next day shipping to get it to me. I'll never buy another pipe overseas(especially Turkey).

Looking good!

 

[jabo]

Great results. You give me inspiration ! ;-)

 

[bigpond]

Thanks for the backstory Jason.

 

[bigbee]

Very nice.

Watching meers color is like seeing mountains rise and mighty trees grow, a work of patience and beauty
Definitely interested to get an update now and then

What a shame that mess was. Somehow I got 2 PM2012 meers out of that mess and they are wonderful pipes. I also managed to get a lattice poker before everything went to hell. To bad,nice meerschaums...
