It’s a green wood stain. It was my first time using it and honestly it was kind of a pain to use. It required quite a few coats to get it that dark but it could have been the crab apple wood I used as well.

Low speed bench buffer is the search criteria. Variable speed is the best.

No bowl coating. Only leather die to stain the outside of the bowl.

These might help, too:

What's the weight of this bronze one?

I posted a photo earlier, but wanted to share the process.

We couldn't find anywhere to purchase one. So we made a couple and put it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Solid-Brass-Pipe-Tamper/dp/B09P4BQ18J/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=solid+brass+pipe+tamper&qid=1641407231&sr=8-3

We noticed that there was no where to purchase a nice solid tamper for your pipe, so we made a few and put them on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Solid-Brass-Pipe-Tamper/dp/B09P4BQ18J/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=solid+brass+pipe+tamper&qid=1641407231&sr=8-3

For a beginner setup in a small space, you'll need sandpaper, some hand files, a few drill bits, an electric drill, some briar or fruit wood blanks, and some patience and elbow grease. A small bench vise is a plus. I found this set of sandpaper rolls very useful for pipe making, and you get quite a bit in the grit range useful for shaping and finishing a piece for the price.

I used micro-mesh for mine and went from 2500-12,000 grit. It turned out great! Be sure to do it at the sink with running water, otherwise it gets real messy. Be very gentle and go slow. Here's the link for the pads that I used...

Century Drill & Tool 73401 Spiral Flute Screw Extractor, #1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UUA4BG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TKPODb8NH5S67

I would wager this will do ya. Might want to get a #2 as well, but I think this is where you need to be.

Cool design! I just checked your website, and your Eldritch Shroom II made me think of something. The fin going down the stem looks like an arched bridge, and that got me to thinking about Le Carceri (The Prisons), a book of old drawings that depict a dystopia of endless brickwork alleys, arches, tunnels, etc. I'd love to see you do whatever pipes you think would be smoked in that world.

I just got a NOVA chuck and can't wait to try it out. The pen jaws are kind of small for briar turning, but should work for turning the stems. I'll start my bowl turning next week and see how the nova works out.

Also, pick up one of these guys: https://www.amazon.ca/Enkay-156-6K-6-Inch-Buffer-Polishing/dp/B001QXI9VW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1509590584&sr=8-4&keywords=BUFFing+kit

Throw that buffing kit on a 3/8" threaded rod with some washers and nuts and it works great. I grabbed some carnuba on eBay for cheap. I increased the tension on the motor/belt as much as I could to keep the belt from slipping (I bought my lathe 2nd hand and the guy before me complained it had no power.. he didn't even tighten the belt!).

For a chuck (drill bits, french sanding wheel, etc), just grab a MT1 chuck. I got mine from Lee Valley for ~$42 I think

The lathe is probably my favorite tool after my drill, miter saw, and thumb detecting nut-fucker (/r/skookum)
