Lads,
I recently got this pipe from our resident Santa @klause, it is probably my best smoking briar to date.
The only thing that doesn’t tickle my fancy is the thick lacquer type finish of/over the blast. Just musing as to how one would go about removing some of this to let some of the briar wood accents come through?
I am tempted to leave just as is, as it is a high grade Pete (ok, only just lol), but I cannot ever see myself letting this one go so I’m not too concerned about whether changing the finish would impact its resale value.
I also noticed this morning that a bit of the finish chipped off on the rim, revealing a matte black stain underneath.
