[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 384772, member: 2244"] From your photo, it looks like it's been smoked quite a bit ( maybe not by you ) and has already started absorbing the tars and oils from tobacco which darken and "color" briars over time. I'm sure some of this will have some effect on the tone and looks of the stain without doing some sort of "stripping" so to speak and taking it back to raw wood as much as possible. If it were mine, and changing the color of it with a stain was what I REALLY wanted, I would send it off to someone like Mike at Walker Briar works. Personally, I'd just keep smoking it and watch it change color over the years. Additionally with the natural finish it now has the pipe will develop a "patina" and feel to it that a stained and finished pipe won't get. JMHO :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
