[QUOTE="smoker13, post: 462816, member: 3962"] So what's a guy to do on a hot, humid day? Sit inside the AC house and clean some pipes to feel productive and good about oneself. This I did with a few of my beauties, and with a couple that had cake beyond an acceptable point, I addressed with my excellent PIPNET pipe reamer set. One of the pipes, a favorite Ser Jacopo picta Van Gogh, had uneven cake problems, i.e. much more in the top third than the bottom two thirds. Well, I only meant to even things out, but of course I ended up going beyond the point I wanted to and the result is that I have a stripe going completely around the circumference of the pipe where there is a striation of cake and wood. In one spot, horror of horrors, there is nothing but bare wood. Now, I have many favorite pipes, like all of us, so it would be foolish to say this is my favorite pipe, but it IS right up there as one of many I consider as top echelon. So has the pipe been irreparably damaged or can I gently and gingerly nurse it back by slowly bringing back the cake in the damaged area(s)? This has never happened to me so I am at a complete loss as to just how best to judge what has been done. As always, I appreciate any and all help from the Brotherhood. [/QUOTE]
