Here are some before and after picture for March. I did not have the sense to take proper before pictures, so these are not the best. The after pics were taken today. I might wax them before giving them a rest when March is done.

Pretty impressive. I can't see the stem logo on that Altinok without thinking of Rainier Beer.

Those gained some beautiful patina. Thanks for sharing! I love the unique simplicity of both these pipes

Had a chance to melt some wax and give the meers that saw the most work in March a quick wipe down. My phone camera is still a jerk about getting true colors on these, but here goes anyway.

The one that took on the most color was the tinymeer
Image

The Petemeerson took on quite a bit more depth especially on the bottom and transition area
Image

The big paneled meer is definitely the tortoise in the race. Understandable because it's rusticated and has very thick walls. But it's definitely showing color slowly, has a lot of rose type tones in person
