Here’s the pipe all spiffed up and ready for display in the bar. I don’t plan on smoking this pipe so I didn’t do a total restoration but more of a conservation. I cleaned and treated the exterior of the pipe. I then reamed and sanded the bowl to remove the old cake buildup. Then I started on the badly oxidized stem. I worked my way with micro mesh sanding pads starting with 1,800 grit all the way up to 12,000 grit and did a finish polish. I also polished the silver bad. A fun little find. |
