Looking good Barry, you may give Ed a run for his money.

Yep, they're beautiful, and for the life of me I can't figure out why DG insists on staining them. In Barry's Photobucket album there is a Wellington with a surface blemish I find attractive. If that represents the sort of "flaws" DG carves and fills to hide, I wish they would leave them to show.

IOW, Burns could save some time & money, and please me all at the same time.

I tell ya, Barry's pictures really inspired me to action. I went down into the shop and sanded off the top of that really bad Emperor 65 that I showed a picture of a while back. When I get time, I'm going to finish working on the rim and then take the finish off the rest of it and redo it with some kind of light finish. Has anyone ever used something like tung oil or danish oil on a pipe or is that not good to use for something that gets hot?

Never tried it Steve but what you might do is try it on a Duke or Lark etc( or a Peterson) to see what happens when you smoke it,before putting it on your Emperor!

Or just leave it natural with a coat of wax. Over time time it will take on a nice color!!
