Thanks y'all. It was a fun project. I am happy with the way it turned out and a little jealous that I have to send it back.

Thanks again.
If I get it back in time, I'll take it with me to the Chicago pipe show, and post some pictures.

Nice work, looks good in green.

No, i have never tried shellac before, how does that work?

You can tint the shellac, makes a clear topcoat rather than stain. Green is a hard color for Briar to take, likely due to it's ruddy hue.

I have a weakness for that lovely grain, but it looks impressive in the deep, deep green. Well done.

It made it home today, it looks great!
Thanks again.
I have another Silver Spigot that has a charred rim. It would look great in the 'high contrast' finish.
The saga may continue.......

So question for you on the green. I have done a couple of green stains as well and was over all quite pleased with them. The only issue I have had is about a year down the road on the inner edge of the bowl the green stain has faded away where the flame from my lighter tends to touch. Is that normal or did I do something wrong?
