Just picked up two Dunhills on the bay for a great price. One, a sandblasted bent billiard, has a substantial crack in the bowl. The crack is wide enough that I'd consider this a gap more than a crack. The second is in fine condition but the white spot appears to be falling out/ heavily degraded. I'm planning on drilling out the deteriorated white spot and replacing it. On the cracked pipe, I'm going to attempt a fill and band procedure. Has anyone ever banded a bowl before? My plan is to use 303 stainless and machine a very thin band that will fit over an undercut on the top of the bowl. Perhaps brass? I've got a lot of large stock available for this kind of thing and I think this would be a fun project. If anyone's interested in seeing the process I can document it with photos. Thoughts/ input?
