Got fooled today

I bought an old LHS Americana pipe for next to nothin'. It arrived today so I decided to buff it with some fine steel wool. It looked like some really great straight grain. Well, the grain started coming OFF! Yep, it was the dreaded and heretofore never seen, FAUX GRAIN! I never suspected. The bowl is pretty much ruined so I keep going. Turns out to be made of maple. Pretty NICE maple actually. I guess I'll stain it and finish it and see what happens. I didn't know anyone ever made pipes like this.

Note to self: Stay away from LHS pipes.
