My first waxing, what do you think?

[shaintiques]

Here is an estate that i cleaned and polished. My buddy Rob is starting to smoke a pipe and I've been sharing mine as good friends must do in a pinch, but Rob needs his own so here is the first of many. Its a nice Whitehall with a tapered rim which I really like. It was lightly smoked so I cleaned it and polished it and gave it a new coat of carnuba, now its as good as new. Ive been hunting for a pipe to give him and am excited to see what he will say. Ive also got a couple of ounces of some Sutliff private stock Charmalagne for him which is a very tasty aromatic.

And i also made him a tamper from an old .500 magnum pistol shell. The shell itself is long enough to be a tamperin its own right. I filled it with some red cherry wood and burned his last Initial into it. Im going to make one for myself it turned out so well.
