Wow, surprised it made it that quick. Yeah, i had received two of the judge in a sampler. I have not smoked the other one yet, but yeah, that band is awesome in a comical way. Enjoy!

The bowls are currently resting in salt+scotch.

I learned that some finish don't like alcohol...



Good news!! I'll soon learn to refinish briar!

The stems have passed many passes of cleaners - eventually with alcohol. I am boiling them and letting them rest in alcohol and salt. Those are essentialky plastics so I treat them as I would plastic glasses or utensils.

Further reading and I learned that putting salt and alcohol in the stem section might dehydrate it and crack it ... so I am cleaning them and will redo with just the bowls.

The salt was already brown, and I am removing much cake right now... so I guess this works!
