Great!
As I said when introducing my own results of a (maybe) new way of rustication, I like those that don't give ’em that carved look very much. BTW: Maybe you might give us some sort of a hint how to do that?
Is it building up that grain-like structure artificially, or does that rusticating follow the original lines in some way? I really love it beeing close to some sandblasted look.
It all compliments that pipe. Not a shape I would prefer, but I like it’s appearance. The tonal range of the stain and rustication structure even fits the stem colors.

Hi Alexander,
I did it with the smallest dremel engraving bit and a very light hand.
On this shape, I just wanted the rustication to radiate out from the center, so I didn't follow the grain lines at all.
I tried it on another pipe that I sold in Richmond and don't have any pics of, but on that one I did follow the grain, and it came out quite nice. A couple of folks thought it was a sandblast.
Thanks for your comments,
Rad

Is there a number for the Dremel bit you used?

Thanks, Stephen!!
As far as the Dremel bit, it's one of the ones that came with it. I have no idea about the number. It's the tiniest engraving bit they make, I think.
As far as "lightness of hand", you'll figure it out. It ain't rocket surgery.
Love, Thanks for your compliment!! I visit your site often, and I love your work!
