Managed to get some black dye for it today so finished it up tonight. I'll try to get some better pics with the wife's fancy camera tomorrow but for tonight I'll toss up a couple cell phone pics of it. I'm far from being "good" at it but for my 4th attempt, I'm very happy with the finished piece. Gave it a couple coats of black dye to bring out the grain and the rustication then sanded back down with 1200 grit, then straight to buff/waxing.

Sweeeet!
It looks like it's going to smoke cool, just like a Ferrari looks fast at a red light!

Took a couple more cell phone pics in the shop where the lighting is better. Pipe has a bit more reddish hue than it looks in the pics, more like the pics I posted last night, assuming due to the lighting in the room but none the less here's a couple more visible pics than what I posted last night.
the grain pattern on this side wasn't so nice but the blocks I'm working with for my first batch were really cheap so I expected less than amazing quality.

That's pretty neat. I like the faux plateaux job. Almost looks like the real thing
