French Oom Paul Project
I did that as well and did see a faint light filter into the chamber. I was too dense to realize it was coming from the smaller hole. One of the previous posts made me realize that the angle of the well was just wrong and it would never reach the bowl. I decided to aim a pipe cleaner at the...- AreBee

Things I found Thrifting
Saw these at the antique shop down the street from me. I was looking at a Kenwoodie for $40 and ended up with this French Oom Paul for $20. Owner originally quoted me $60 on Saturday and I passed. My daughter happened to go in on Sunday with some friends and the owner told her that he wanted me...- AreBee

French Oom Paul Project
Tried a few other items of various thickness with no luck. Even went down to fishing line to see if I could get it through. When I shine my headlight down the shank, it looks as if the shaft-hole to the bowl seems to be just a hair higher than the bottom of the shaft in the shank. The pipe...- AreBee

Thank you for the information. I do have micro polishing pads. 400-12000. I used the process on similar stems with very good results. To answer your question, I cannot get a pipe cleaner through with the stem off. I have tried putting a bind in the tip and/or rotating it. I’ve tried a piece...- AreBee

French Oom Paul Project
I picked this up from my local antique shop for $20. The only marking is “France” on the shank. There’s a small rectangular hole inside the shank (3rd pic) and I have never seen that. The pipe’s condition was pretty decent with very little cake in the bowl. There is plenty of airflow to the...- AreBee

You nailed it @Searock Fan. Decatur is right. I went back today for some Mother’s Day presents so I didn’t push it with the Warden. I’ll work on her. 🤣- AreBee

One thing I am really enjoying about pipe smoking is picking up a half finished bowl the next day. Stanwell Melange in the Meer I named “Jerome” in honor of it’s first owner.- AreBee

Too early for the birds, but the squirrels are really chatty today. Sometimes that means a bear is around but not today. Enjoying a Stokkebye Champagne No. 32 in the Sisimbro Chiaia.- AreBee
