(Fiebing's) The first stage is black which is buffed to reveal the grain then light brown was applied.
looks great
Well.....this was going to be a smooth apple, but I ran into this ugly fellow and its too deep to sand out without changing the pipe's design.
Time to break out the rusticating tools. LOL I think it will still be a nice smoker when it's done.

I hate that when it happens. Still should be a lovely pipe.
Alpster, i really like your shaping, i am pretty sure the rustication and staining will turn this in a nice rusticated apple. Waiting for final pictures.
Well, my hard head would not give in to the rustication, so the whole pipe got about 2mm smaller and the nasty boil is no more....
After sanding it fovever, I chose a red on black stain and polished with carnuba on the buffer....... finished pipe.....
That's a pretty pipe, Alpster....
+1. Nice work.
Wow, nice save.Well, my hard head would not give in to the rustication, so the whole pipe got about 2mm smaller and the nasty boil is no more....

Good for you!!! Lucky it made it through the extra reduction. A fine pipe and in my opinion looks better smooth. I was secretly worried for it, but can now expel my previous doubts.
That turned out awesome, talking about not giving up on it.
holy cow, Aaron. Your reverse calabash pipes are all beautiful, but your rustication is just breathtaking. I love it.
I wish this was still going on, or rather that I could still get kits at that price!
A real work of art. Great that you were able to come up with a solution.Well, my hard head would not give in to the rustication, so the whole pipe got about 2mm smaller and the nasty boil is no more....

Finally got up the courage to carve my second vintage African meerschaum kit that I have been putting off for a year, I was a little intimidated to start with visions of it shattering on my lathe, It turned surprisingly well though. I added a nickel shank cap, Cumberland accent ring and stem which I will be shaping tomorrow...
That looks awesome. Are you keeping it smooth, or are you going to attempt a design?
Staying smooth, I prefer smooth meers not to mention carving it would be a disaster

I was just checking how adventurous you were going to get.
If anyone here could handle it, my money would be on you.Staying smooth, I prefer smooth meers not to mention carving it would be a disaster
