Water-damaged briar finish - advice needed

[Haebar]

You could try a product by Shellawax called EEE Ultra Shine Polish. It contains a Tripoli abrasive, and is designed primarily to be used as a finishing compound for wooden items on a lathe. The friction from the force applied by the buffing pad with the polishing cream to the wood essentially sands, polishes and seals all in one. While I realize that you probably won't be mounting this pipe on a lathe to refinish it, I will say that I have had excellent results on small items such as antique chess pieces as well as antique furniture by putting some polishing compound of a buffing pad and heating the object with a heat gun and simply rubbing it in.

Thanks, I may try that!

Sure thing. Lee Valley Tools has it for around $28 per 8 1/2 fluid ounces. Rockler Woodworking also carries it.

Hey Roger, I notice that you are new here. Welcome to the pipe side of Cigar Bum! Are you new to pipe smoking? If so, consider the Newbie Pipe Tobacco trade program. It's an easy way to try a lot of different tobaccos for a minimal investment.
