Nice. I'll look forward to pictures... Ha ha haI do use a topping board and get good results. Since I need to set up the buffing wheel anyway for the stem, I figured I'd give it a try for the bowl.I may have to go that route. All my polishing gear is for working on guns. Ha. The bowl rim you could do with setting up a topping board. Dave and I were talking about this not too long ago. Thick hard glass or something nonporous, get some emory or high grit sand paper, and just work slow with even pressure. Easier to take just a little when you take the power out of the tool... I learned that the hard way doing gunsmithing work when tolerances are in the hundredths and thousandths. Just an idea.I just bought a set of cotton buffing wheels for my variable speed drill. I'm thinking a thin film of paragon wax and a buffing wheel at slow speed will get my stems nice and shiny. Gonna try it on my bowls, too.Just waxing and buffing. I'm sure there is a better wax to use, but I'm using the fine pipes paragon wax and a Savinelli polishing cloth. I think the wax that was on it was either applied by a buffing wheel or thinner because it's been hard to replicate how shiny it was when I got it. Need some more ideas myself... Ha ha haAny notes on keeping the luster you speak of?Yeah, I love this thing. The finish is very high maintenance to keep the luster though. Been smoking smaller bowls to make sure the cake is even. I have a bad habit of smoking wet and then have to ditch the last quarter to third because of the tar... Ha.That's a purdy Nord!'11 Stonehaven in my Nørding.
I also have a pipe I got off the Bay that has a lot of char on the top of the bowl so I'm going to see if white diamond will do a good job on cleaning it up. I've been told it will b
For polishing the outside of the bowl, though, using the wheel with the wax should get me good results.
Will try it this weekend.
Yes, excellent! Thanks!!
Tonight while i was loading my Savinelli 622KS I ran into my Cube of Stave from the Whiskey Barrel At first i thought I may have hit the Jackpot and found the BLOCK of Gold in my FMC... HA HA HA yeah right.... Anyway you can see it right under the pipe in the can. It does smell good. I have to give it that... Anyway took it out and weighed it just because and at 24g or .8oz I thought it was interesting. Already smoked more then 1/2 this tin already in a week. This is for sure yummy tobacco, For people that haven't bought this before if you go to buy a 100g tin don't think you found gold when it comes up LOL...

Save it and put it in with another blend that you want to try with the flavor.Tonight while i was loading my Savinelli 622KS I ran into my Cube of Stave from the Whiskey Barrel At first i thought I may have hit the Jackpot and found the BLOCK of Gold in my FMC...

Doubtful that I need any but it's the issue of finding it, I have had poor organizational skills with my " cellar" and need to label my boxes
