[QUOTE="Lonecoyote, post: 500654, member: 4073"] Originally the pipe was a light colored briar. From age the bowl had a number of minor dings. What I did: sanded all the briar by hand using 3 different grit sandpaper. Refinish the briar with black leather dye and 2 separate coats of a high heat epoxy resin. Very difficult to see how dimensional the pipe truly is because its black, but I will say it has a glass like finish with NO bubbles. To achieve the proper finish I was looking for a heat gun was used to remove anY tiny air pockets and make for a much faster & stronger drying time. I still smoke this pipe when I travel. Had the pleasure of smoking this Pug last month with a member of this forum. Hopefully we will meet again this coming October. He's a great guy :cheers: :cheers: [b]KEEP ON PUFFING!!![/b] [/QUOTE]
