Recently I decided to fully rusticate one of the Archer’s M bulldog pipes I was going to restore. I decided to leave the base stain nice and dark, attacked it with some dremel engraving bits, and then stained it jet black. After buffing/polishing, I was left with a stunning copper look to the pipe. I haven’t decided if I’m going to give this away to a friend or just keep it, as I’m very very fond of how this turned out.
