[QUOTE="Briar Spirit, post: 336749, member: 2669"] The pipe will continue to darken over time, it cannot be stopped as it is the oils from the tobacco which are darkening the Briar, I know how you feel, I have 10 pipes which started out as 'blonde' (no stain used at all, just Carnauba wax) and they are all darkening, but unlike pipes which has been stained by leather dyes they are darkening in the most wonderful ways. The Grains are darkening first and I am seeing some fabulous effects on the wood on 2 of them which actually have very little grain to look at, they started life as very low grade Briar and they looked very dull indeed but now they look fascinating. I was sore at first as the blonde look was lost but now I am very much enjoying their darkening. [/QUOTE]
