I just purchased a Dunhill 1967 group 4 Shell Billiard in outstanding condition online with minor Spider Webbing inside the bowl. What exactly is this and will this lead to burnout?

Most likely not. But can you post some photos of the chamber?

I’d either coat the chamber with a thin layer of pipe mud or use George’s method, he posted a few videos about two weeks ago on here. A longer process than pipe mud but well worth the effort. Good luck

Heat cracks can and often lurk under cake without an issue. I hope the seller didn't over ream the pipe looking for clean wood. A small pipe like a group 4 might not have a lot of wall thickness to spare. If you're worried coat the bowl with some pipe mud and take it easy till you redevelop the cake.  |

Anecdotal, but I bought a WO Larsen from SP and it was described as minor spiderwebbing, going on five years with no issues...I have not done any pipe mudding, etc...
