what finish is this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT
this is the link for a ruthenberg on ebay. this finish is something more than just a sandblast finish. anyone know how to get this look?
it looks very similar to what wallenstein does with some of his pipes. i believe he calls his the 'driftwood' finish.
any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: what finish is this?
Looks like sandblasting to me. You can get similar if you use a super fine media at high pressure and hold the gun rather far from the pipe.
Re: what finish is this?
Fine media and you are looking at endgrain rather than growth rings on the sides of that pipe - it's a crosscut ebauchon.

the Ruthenberg is a cross grain blast.

Done with a bifurcated autoflagelator. I had one, then lost it somehow in a move. Worked great...baweaverpipes wrote:What finish is this?
Re: what finish is this?
thanks guys. i like the finish. i don't see enough of them and have never seen one referred to as a sandblast. thanks for the quick responses.

Look's like a beat up 60's hippy bus to me. yet the texturing of the pipe is neat!

Should it have been made for this man? Should have been, but wasn't

Whoa!!!
I like it, but the last time I saw anything like that there were a few micrograms of d-lysergic acid diethylamide involved... OVER 20 years ago, I hasten to add. I think... Oh, hey, is that Jefferson Airplane I hear? Duuuuuuuuuuuude, I think I can feel the colors! mmmmm, colours....

adlai,
It is true it is just a sandblast finish on a crossgrain piece of briar. I have been doing it for years like that on crossgrains.
