Savinelli Estate

[twangthang]

I scored my next refurb off of ebay. It's a Savinelli Oscar, rusticated and in pretty good condition.

It has one issue and that is the rustication along the bowl rim is worn out and the finish is mostly gone. I would like to put some color back.

Any advice?

Use any brand black leather dye, found at any good shoe repair, I use Angelus Brand Jet Black for all my rusticatied pipes. Put a little on a Pipe Cleaner and run it around the top. Hit it with a match to burn off the alcohol, and light buff. Should match.
