[QUOTE="ontariopiper, post: 447003, member: 3775"] Hi all, I've just finished up my latest estate pipe restoration. This was easily one of the most challenging and time-consuming jobs I've undertaken in quite some time, so I thought I'd share the results. The pipe, a bent bulldog shape, had been smacked down on something, which cracked the bowl right across the keel and sent spider cracks racing across the briar in all directions. For some unknown reason, I was the only bidder on the auction.....

[url=https://flic.kr/p/DfZQQs][IMG]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1484/24454917026_e37ce67095_z.jpg[/IMG][/url] There was a ton of other work done on the pipe - the crack repair, obviously, rim work, stem work and repairs to the tobacco chamber - oh, and a complete refinishing. It was exhausting but worth it!
