Default the new Johs

so, I smoked my new Johs earlier...

and during the event, I noticed my hands were sticky... and orange.

the finish from the bowl was coming off on my hands. I grabbed a paper towel and wiped the bowl and more finish came off.

after I got done, I dampened a paper towel and wiped the bowl and now about 75% of it has a smooth, more natural less orange, look to it.

shooould I expect this? or do I need to call smokingpipes tomorrow and ask them what's up? I mean, it doesn't look bad, I kind of like the more natural look, but I wasn't expecting that to happen.

Also, since a lot of the finish has come off, the tackiness offered by the normal wax finish isn't there, and it's somewhat slick in hand. Should I get some carnuba and refinish it?
