Hallo,

in my previous note to present my sandblasted pipes, speaking about their finishing, I used the generic word Shellac (Gommalacca).
A couple of american friends informed me this word could create a misunderstood.
So I'd like to clarify I absolutely don't use shellac to make the pipe airtight and bright.
To close pores of the briar you need, at least, 5/6 coats of shellac.
I only use one coat of dilute shellac as a color fixative ( blasted pipes absorbe color in a different way respect smooths and rustics)  that only prevents the stain from coming off your pipes onto the hands of the smoker.
  After this operation the pipe still appears opaque and surely with pores wide opened, to get bright it I use a little  brush with natural bristles which confers to the pipe a natural and silky brightness. The smooth portions on the blasted pipes are finished with Carnauba wax.

Hallo,

I’ve always loved sandblasted pipes, I renounced to produce them for nine years waiting for the moment I'd owned my personal blasting machine which allowed me to have the control of all the sandblasting phases.
Three months ago I've finally been able to find & buy a little , but valid blast machine, and today I'm happy & proud to update my site http://www.lenuvolepipes.com with my first seven sandblasted pipes, finished only with natural colors and shellac.
I've introduced a new group of merit in my grading system: Group S which, with its subgroups 1, 2, 3, identifies my sandblasted Le Nuvole.

You can direcly see only these new pipes on: http://www.lenuvolepipes.com/catalogo.asp?categoria=0

Pipe 91 is a little and very light in weight Billiard with a pencil shank.
Pipe 92 is an "Anphorish" shape with a pencil shank as well.
Pipe 93 is a Chubby-Horn with a large round shank.
Pipe 94 is a Billiard.
Pipe 95 is a one-eight curve Dublin with natural plateau & pencil shank.
Pipe 96 another Billiard in natural color.
Pipe 97 a wide Dublin with a long & pencil shank.
