apologies. i'm used to another forum that is local here, not about pipes but have lots of callous members. would anyone suggest lemon seed oil? or is that a good way to make myself sick?

I don't own a buffing wheel bigger than the one that came with my dremel tool, can't i apply it while it's in liquid form just the same?

Bold is the style i post in on all the forums i belong to,it helps me find my posts and those relevant to it much quicker... it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

thanks for the input on the stain, i'll have a follow up video and as i said a picture of the completed project probably by monday.

staining

i'm thinking a whiskey glaze or...

would it be a horrible idea to leave my pipe natural and then coat it with carnuba wax? i'm finishing up my first pipe and posting an update video on youtube (genericsoul)

also where would i find carnuba wax?
