I tried rusticating an old pipe once. Granted, I don't know the first thing about rusticating, but I was amazed at how difficult it was to do, and how crappy my work was. Ended up as a total loss, I threw the pipe in a box, never to be seen since.

What did you use for the rustication, buckeye?
I've heard of some people using a Dremel tool on some pipes to give some rustication.

i use a tool called a gouger. i will post a pick. you do it by hand. i also have used a dremel on some of my homemade`s.
