My, my... you have a subversive streak, don't you, Premal?

I'm pretty sure this isn't photoshopped:

I get it now. The vegans do not swallow.

Not a myth, just very very very very tiny.

Oh my. Just as I thought this thread might be winding down.

Best thread this summer. Let's keep it going.

lame how it came OUT of her mouth. Isn't it supposed to go the other way?

That's exceedingly generous of you.

I don't really think so, although others appear less inclined to return the same courtesy it seems.

Oakbear,

Sorry for all the flak. I just realized that you are really looking for an animal free alternative very seriously. We had to poke some fun. It was too easy.

I think Danish Oil may be your solution for a nice finish that can be easy to apply. It is just a solvent and plant based drying oils.

Cheers Premal.
I was on holiday, not scared off. I expected some flak, having lurked on this board for some time, and have broad shoulders, so it's fine.

I was a turner before aspiring to pipe making, so have a fair bit of experience with oil finishes. I guess i was caught up in ideas about toxicity, and also wondered if it would leech with heat or mix with a carnuaba. Sounds like it is worth a go though. Thanks.

Whatever you do, don't get oil on the stem or you'll have stinky ebonite...

Just give it extra drying time, and then it will take a polish much better. The oil only penetrates a few thousands of an inch so there is no worry about any toxins getting into the smoke.

You might want to experiment with pure tung oil as well. Just make sure you don't get a "tung oil finish"...some of those don't even have any tung oil in them! I've been getting some really nice results with the stuff they sell at Woodcraft. Like Premal said, give it plenty time to dry.

Just make sure you don't use "tongue oil." Pretty sure that stuff's not vegan!

Pure Tung Oil takes about 6 months to dry.

Don't put it on your tongue!
