Show off your painted corn cobs here

[aspiring_sage]

Painted, stained, or other interesting coloring. DIY or professional.

I have seen pictures scattered about the forums and thought it would be nice to have a single thread full of inspiration.

Cobs preferred, but any interesting painted pipes would be welcome!

I’ll start it off with an MM legend colored walnut with a furniture repair marker. I don’t recommend coloring like this. It looks nicer than a plain cob but feels tacky and I’m worried about the color staining things. I’ll likely clean it off and try something else.

I don't have one. Nice job on yours though!

I made these as part of a pair for the Secret Santa, but the purplish one is the winner and the blue is runner up. I made myself one and thought it smoked so good that I should start makeing them for others. So here they are in order from 1st to last (so far). Any way my brand is called N Rod Cobs for cob made pipes. The blue pipe is up for grabs so if interested shoot a P.M. By the way nice work gentlemen great looking cobs. Oh and by the way they have a Mimmo Romeo Briar plug/base a picture of the blue pipe "without" gold band and forever stem with a more natural balance with lighter vulcanite stem
And last but not least the pipe i decided would fit @TheIronMonkey best a purple chameleon stained cob which was 1 of his Secret Santa gifts.

Nothing special, playing around with some dyes one day.

The two I have... on the bottom left one I stained about 10 years ago, the orange one I bought on eBay about 6 years ago. I don't smoke them that much, but I like having them around just because of their looks. Makes perfect sense right?

Surprisingly decent looking pipes.

The acorn looks good.

Anything looks decent if your drunk, sipping lean, or popping xans. Beautiful pipes deserve a bit more then "decent" I would hit any of these ladys stone cold sober .

Thanks. I did that one in ox blood.
The legend has black, ox blood and mahogany which gave it a speckled look. That one is my crooner pipe.
I did these when a bag of seven day seconds was 20 bucks.

Those look quite good, nice work.

Latest cob mod.

Nice work everyone, but for me personally I prefer my cobs unmolested.

I wish I had more pictures readily available. Back in 2019 or so I did one as a joke prize giveaway. It was tacticool camouflage done with children's markers and a Bic pen. The other side said something ridiculous and it had a red and black crosshair on top. And I replaced the sticker with something stupid.

Some cool looking pipes! Love it!

Surprisingly decent looking pipes.

My thoughts exactly.
They all look much better than I expected.
Nice work gentlemen.
