Refreshing the color is usually required after that type of work. Fiebings leather dye is an excellent alcohol based product. Anything that might leave a residue or have an odor when heated should be avoided.
Thanks for the advice. It's great to pick up hints and learn from those with experience

First rate job -- I'd keep the pipe and start on a new one.

Thanks. Now that I've got one, I'm going to keep an eye out for another. Pipe restoration 2, return of the killer cake.
