Thank you
I have been sick in bed with the flu all day unfortunately so I haven’t been smoking. I’ll probably post more coloring updates in about a month or so.
Sorry to hear...
Hope you’re feeling better, get well, be well and take care.

Right at around 200 smokes. Again, I'm not a professional photographer but these photos were taken in the same manner and place as before. 
That's the best way to show progression.
For sure. Even the sky cooperated with me. It’s an overcast day just as it was before.
That color progression is so nice. Flawless. Love the mottled appearance. Damn, now I have to get me one $$$$
And that's the best time to take meer pics!
Thanks, Doc. I think that this pipe is made of translucent meerschaum. It's kind of crazy how evenly this pipe is coloring. I've never seen anything like it.
When you're ready to smoke other pipes it would be cool if you took some photos of this pipe while it sat in the rack to show if the color fades during inactivity
Thanks for sharing all this. It's a beautiful pipe.
I have to get to work on this IMP Rusticated bent Apple - I might get a coloring bowl to try them out on this one
I see SP is carryng them;

That’s a good idea. I’ll keep ya posted if I rest it for an extended period. I was sick for a week in Jan and didnt smoke for 4 days. If anything the coloring seemed to pop more after the rest.
It's coming along nicely. That's a great mottled look, and it's even better that it's coloring fairly evenly.
It's coloring in a very similar fashion to my Tekin that's a similar shape. The static-like pattern should be really interesting once you get into that dark brown/black phase.
I think it’s kind’ve Tekin’s signature shape. It’s an absolutely fantastic smoker. I’d love to see a pic of that Tekin you have if you feel so inclined.
I recently finished an experiment where I put 250 bowls through a new meer using a coloring bowl from day one. It definitely evened out the coloring. After I started smoking it without the coloring bowl the pipe started darkening more at the shank, as has usually been the case with my meers.
The coloring bowl is a bit of a hassle but you do get the calabash effect when using one.
You don’t gotta tell me twiceYea, loving this. Keep smoking
The nicest coloring progression I've seen on a meerschaum! @LeafErikson, what blends are you smoking in this pipe?
