The very thing that brought me here was my first Google of a pipe smoking question. Up came PipeMagazine. Being a member now since Thanksgiving and after buying two pipes just recently with badly tarnished stems, I went straight to google and did a search so as I could find my pipesmagazine response. (Googling a pipe topic is the best way to find old site posting here).
Anyway, with my search result found I saw all the old faces I see today, and I quickly found all the info I needed to get my stems in awesome shape inside and out. If you have asked a question, written a response, or written an article on pipe refinishing or stem repair ..... my thanks to you!!!
The first pipe is a savoy that the stem was so evenly brown I thought it was its natural color, and almost didn't buy the pipe because I wished the stem was black. :P Surprise Surprise Surprise
The second is a Pete that was spotted like it had been in a flood.
The third is a Dr Grabo Bucko that I am refinishing through the advice from this site.
A question to add to the internet and site library. Has anybody tried cloths dye instead of shoe dye for a staining product? I have the prior more accessible then the shoe.
Thanks to all, and I wish I had the time to grab specific handles to specifically thank. There are though to many to find.
