Here is a Greek handmade pipe by an amateur pipe maker.  I decide to change the look and after some modifications turn out to look like this:  You can see the procedure step by step here: pipe-smoke.blogspot.gr/2010/02/7.htmlThe pipe code is: M7-15or in a video with music: Ladies & Gentlemen, sorry for the no good photos and thank you for watching!  |

The conversions look great. That is a very sharp looking pipe.

I actually prefer the first one. To me, the second one looks like it has a forever stem like the ones used for cobs.
Just IMHO.

In future posts i will show you modified pipes with black colour bowl and new yellow mouthpieces. This pipe basically started as a copy of Stanwell Honey but latter i realized that won't match so good to the original that's why i modified her. |

don : Thank you sir! The music is from a traditional Greek folk song from South Epirus at 1800 era.

Please tell...how did you go about changing the colour from the black to getting the grain back?

how did you go about changing the colour from the black to getting the grain back? By sandpaper and buffing wheel work, as a finish a "touch-up" with Oil. |
