There are so many Rebornpipes pages on this that I’m not sure exactly which to look at. I might bid on this old patent Stanwell. My question is, if you buff away the charring, can you easily match the stain? I have a lot sandpaper grades and different wood stains and stuff but not much experience. I’m not going to get this if I have to take the stain off the whole pipe. I was just thinking of buffing off the charring. Any advice? Thanks
