[QUOTE="Mikhailovich, post: 186618, member: 2207"] I am talking about the curing process. Pre-finish. The document supplied by Jar shows that Dunhill's process involved soaking the stummels in olive oil or mineral oil and then after they had "steeped" in the oil for a certain amount of time, they were then heated in an oven designed specifically to suspend the stummels and direct the heat into the bowl thus forcing the oil to boil from the inside out. Dunhill then describes a process whereby the resultant varnish is removed and the surface polished. He also allows for a repeat of this process. Dunhill's claim in the document is that this process provides a very attractive display of the briar grain and also hardens the pipe such as to make it a superb smoking instrument. How cool. That is at least one answer to the question. Now I am curious if this was the only large manufacturer that made oil soaked bowls or if others did indeed boil the stummels in oil before use. Thanks gents! [/QUOTE]
