    dye used to achieve a "natural" or standard finish on a pipe

    I was looking into buying some Fiebing dyes to use on a pipe I am finishing and wanted advice as to what colors to buy to achieve a natural finish? I was thinking of a darker brown (I'm scared to use black) as an undercoat. Then I'm not sure what to do to achieve the very popular Natural finish...

    Does anyone know the websites for Rattrays or McClelland?

    Just looking to see if anyone knows the websites to either of these? Google didn't help me, or I didn't know how to find them properly. Either way, any help would be appreciated.

    My New Abi Natur Olivewood

    It finally arrived today. Abi was the coolest to deal with. An absolute gentleman and a great guy. The pipe smokes as well as it looks. Thanks to those who recommended his pipes to me. As a history teacher, it is awesome to be smoking a pipe made from wood that is older than America!

    Tom Leedy Pipes

    So I felt compelled to sing the praises of Tom to my fellow pipe smokers after my recent experience with him. (again!) Long story short, stupid me took the custom half rusticated/ half smooth nosewarmer that Tom made for me out for a smoke during a lull in Hurricane Irene when she hit Jersey...

    Best Estate Pipes: Either name brands or individual makers

    Does anybody know anyone who makes nice olive wood pipes? I have one with just beautiful grains. It is also a most excellent smoker for every tobacco I have put in it. Doesn't get too hot.

    Patton Blends

    So I recently purchased two different J Patton blends. Virginia Squire and Storm Front. One of the descriptions of the tobacco was that it could be a little dry and I agree with this.

    Esoterica Tilbury

    So having smoked Penzance (I tried but I really do hate Latakia) and Stonehaven (Good, Lots of the Hype machine me thinks) I wanted to try the Tilbury blend. I am a Va lover.
