The magic is not getting off the oxidation, it's keeping the stem close to the original dimensions and profile.

That's doubly critical on a military mount unless you don't mind shoving half the stem into the pipe.

Back for a second look.
Jesse is right. Your eye for detail is second to none.
I’m still trying to figure how you get the inside of the stems jet black when they are so badly oxidized like this one.

Rouge + churchwarden pipe cleaners + table top vise

Holy shit man. What a restoration. I find it hard to believe it's the same pipe. I thought maybe the stem was new.

That is a fantastic looking pipe and you awesome job on the resto! You have resurrected it and healed it's soul.
