Latest pipe refinishing pr0n, a Dublin that I put together for dear daughter's boyfriend. It started out as a sand blasted square Dublin, which I sanded down a bit, retaining some of the relief, bleached white, dyed blue, and carnuba waxed. It still had some black spots, which I think are fills. (these aren't exactly high quality briars to begin with)

And the inside of the bowl, so you can see what bleached briar looks like:



As with about 75% of what I do, this is "experimental," in this case the experiment is hoping that bleaching doesn't degrade the integrity of the wood too badly. And in case you're wondering, yes, I put it thru several soak/rinse cycles to remove all vestiges of bleach from the wood.
