New IMP Coloring Progress

[Chasing Embers]

I would say its just from hand oils until I see the shank is coloring too.

I always handle my pipes with clean hands and always clench.

It’s been a while on the update but have been posting in the “What Are You SmokingL thread. I think I mentioned I was over 100 bowls in that thread but looking at my bowl count chart on my phone, I’m actually at 80 bowls. Come quite a long ways and it’s coloring nicely I think, though one can always want more! Yellow discoloration around the bowl is due more to finger oils holding the bowl. I have a condition that causes my hands to sweat nearly constantly which has stained a lot of the pipe (as gross as that is)….

This is looking great. You might have inspired me to pick up a lattice pipe next paycheck.
