[QUOTE="Geoff, post: 336757, member: 3243"] The Ram pipes were not the blond you are talking about. They had some kind of coating that colored the pipe quickly. Not at all like your typical blond color. I've had blond pipes and they always color to some degree with time. If maintained with a bit of wax to keep the surface sealed, it won't be from your hands -- at least to a minor degree. Heat and porosity can alter things. Wood varies in porosity so you can set dark patches on some. I have a couple of H.I.S. basket pipes that were blond. They've colored a shade or so from the original. But some areas are black from the pores passing waste from the smoking process -- moisture and volatiles. [/QUOTE]
