I am renewing an old cob thread as I have had some interest from one of the members, and since we have many new members I thought I'd throw this back out there for your interest.
Whelp...I picked up 3 different bottles (colors) of Fiebing's leather dye and a bottle of polyurethane gloss varnish (water-based) as well as a bottle of leather sheen which gives a durable acrylic finish...to see which of these gives the better results.
I sanded the 2 Legend cobs and 1 country gentleman cob so that the factory finish was removed. Tonight I am going to apply the leather dye to 1 of the Legends...let it dry over night and then apply the polyurethane gloss varnish and see how 1 of them comes out. All 5 of the cobs have decent looking "grain/kernels".
This thread was back last year if I remember correctly...I am bring it up again to see if there is any further interest by some members...to see if they have any interest in me doing this for their cobs.
Below is what the cobs look like after the staining and glazing process. I charge $10.00 per pipe with a minimum of 3 pipes per order and a $10.00 charge for priority shipping which gives you a tracking # and $50.00 insurance.
If you have an interest in me doing this for you, please pm me and we can get the process started.
