Avoiding over-sanding a pipe requires attention and patience during the finishing phase. It is advisable to use fine-grit sandpaper and proceed with light, controlled movements, frequently inspecting the result to prevent removing more material than necessary. Sanding should be gradual to maintain the pipe’s original shape and finish, ensuring that the aesthetic and functional quality of the briar is not compromised.
