Hello there, im just wondering what kind of colour you are using in this video, right after rustic? Burning it up etc.. Thanks for advice, great work!
-
@1fatbastard because pipes are only rusticated when the grain of the wood is simple and rather uninteresting. Higher end smooth pipes are more likely to have an interesting grain and such brier is rarer and more expencive.

Awesome video and a great teaching tool for those of us who enjoy pipe carving. Thanks for sharing with us.

WOW! So much more work to rusticate, however smooth pipes are more expensive, why?

I get why they're so expensive now :O

Outstanding. It really is mesmerising watching Mike work. Such deft handling of the pipes and tools. Real old fashioned craftsmanship and I dare say a somewhat rare phenomenon these days. I can't wait to get my hands on my custom churchwarden (once this postal strike is over here in Canada!)

Very interesting video. You certainly have a lot of talent and it shows in your art!
Very interesting video! Was that shellac you used before the drying time?
Gorgeous rustication and colour.
Cheers,

@Flieger671 Yes, the polish used is 'Mylands Shellac Transparent Polish' - as recommended by Les Wood of Ferndown Pipes.
Thanks for the comments,
