Sav natural owners - do you put anything on your briar?

[petewho]

Calling all Savenelli natural owners.

Do you put anything on your briar or just leave it. Mine isn't getting a lot of use, but it somehow manages to get held in my hand a lot and it's taking on a nice reddish color. Should I put anything on it to protect it? What do you do with yours?

I couldn't wait, I put a light stain and Carnuba waxed mine. Take a look

I've smoked the hell out of mine, no finishing, no hand washing, just like its already been said... fill it and smoke it!

It's unreal how much of a color change you'll get out of it.

This is what I do; has a nice nutty brown patina after only about a half doz. bowls.

Funny that you ask. I just got a 1lbs hunk of beeswax, and I'm planning on using a bit to gloss up my darkened natty sav. One pound is a lot of beeswax by the way.

Thats the way I have always done it, and the pipes all take on their own look.

I just got one on Thursday and have smoked 2 bowls through it. However, before I even smoked it I did the old rub by the side of your nose trick and the thing is REALLY dark now.

I haven't put anything on it to protect it either.
