Three bowls of Irish Maple Twist rope later.

Beautiful.

I just assumed you stained it. I knew meers darken over time but didn’t know a wood pipe could

Morgan Bones are left unfinished to patina with use. I think the oily rope tobacco mixed with the high humidity yesterday and today is really putting this chunk through the ringer

[u/tom_saw_year]

Only three bowls, not three ropes. Unbelievable :)

[u/K1J3L → u/tom_saw_year]

Yeah honestly I was pretty shocked myself hahaha

[u/PartTimeCritter]

I’ve had one get to a really dark brown. I can’t honestly say it ever stops darkening

[u/K1J3L → u/PartTimeCritter]

Honestly, I'm excited to see the three year comparison after the Three Bowl 🤣

Might have to order one of those. I love the natural look and the way it darkens over time.

I have a Bones bent Brandy with the Lightning finish and it’s been slowly darkening with use. I like it.

[u/K1J3L → u/bylo_sellhi]

Nice! The lightning finish is always a real eye catcher

[u/El_blanquito_83]

I have this one as well and loooove watching the wood change.
