What a transformation!
That is one hell of a restoration, Dave!
That is on par with turning Rosie O’Donnell into a young Ann Margaret.

Fantastic. It's the stem work that blows me away too. I've a couple of oxidised ones but I've never got them like that.
I suppose I don't have the right tools.

That's incredible. I would name that pipe "Lazarus."

Dave, I’ve yet to see any of your restorations where when complete the pipe didn’t look like new....or even better. Hope you enjoy for many happy and healthy years of smoking pleasure 👌👍👍👍

Paddy...it is not the tools, but the man doing the job. Dave is a master on par with GeorgeD...and I didn't mean that you couldn't do it...but the "hands" is what does it...sort of like Michelangelo the sculptor/painter/magician. |

@walt Thanks for the kind words. Flattery will get you everywhere. George D is a few floors up in the corner office. I don’t re-stem. I just work with what I get. |
