[QUOTE="NAJ_ile, post: 430765, member: 3793"] Hey folks, I have a pipe that I use mostly for fishing, and it had a very glossy finish on it when purchased. I didn't give a lot for it, so its not heartbreaking. anyway, that glossy finish is beginning (has long since begun truthfully) to chip off, and it looks pretty shabby. My question is, after stripping the old finish off, is boiled linseed oil a suitable finish for the outside surfaces of a briar pipe? Why/Why not? I really like the satin finish that a well rubbed BLO finish provides, and the feel of wood treated as such, I have many a rifle finished just this way, its familiar, its comfortable...
