Can anyone give me an idea of how long they would work a pipe on each step of the buffing process? And you stop with the white diamond on the stems correct?

Doing the wood work at the house I am working at we find that sanding anything beyond 400 grit burnishes the wood and makes it resistant to finish, is this not the case with briar?

You will find a lot of info on previous threads on this (buffing).

The Beal wheels are pretty good. The wheels Tim West sells are better, IMO.
