[QUOTE="standaman, post: 483238, member: 4089"] Thanks Ontariopiper for the excellent advice. I'm going to ask Todd to make me a new acrylic stem and save the original. Solves my dilemma quite neatly! Didn't consider this option. The best thing about this is that the pipe was a gift from an old friend and customer. He's incredibly generous, recently giving me folding knives from his massive collection and even a vintage Meerschaum Cheroot holder. This cased, carved figural (Deer) antique has a badly broken Amber stem, cracked and missing half of the threaded portion of the reverse tenon and also missing the original small Amber "funnel" fitted to the bowl end. It's only lightly colored and obviously didn't get much use, but was clumsily handled unfortunately. When he handed me this WDC Bulldog, he had no idea what he had, not being a pipe guy at all. He was quite pleased by the growing smile, the look of awe that I had upon opening the case. To Lonecoyote: I'm the silversmith friend of Todd Harris' that made the silver rim cap for his "Billiard With Silver Cap". Thank you for your compliment, describing my work as the "Crown Jewel" of his gorgeous pipe. I'm working on another collaboration with Todd as we speak, and I'm grateful for his trust in allowing me to embellish his art. [/QUOTE]
