I had a Ferretti mod1372 pipe with some marks on the bowl, the pipe was ''abandoned" and one morning i decide to completely change her look, here as it was before:

and after some hard work turn out to look like this:

Sorry for the low-quality photos, are from a simple mobile phone which i use in that period and i didn't pay attention to details that time.

You can see the procedure with step by step photos here: https://pipe-smoke.blogspot.com/2010/02/8.html
The pipe code is: M8-6

or in a video with music:



Ladies & Gentlemen thank you for watching and happy pipe smoking! Image

Amazing work! Curious, what tool do you use for rustication?

A cheap ''Dremel-look'' tool bought many years ago from Lidl for 20 euros

You need rotary tool bits like these:

some spare briar pipes for testing, a steady hand and lot of practise. Wear a glove on the hand that you holding the bowl because these bit in high rpm are dangerous!
