Just for information, the following was done to this pipe;

Bowl reamed

Bowl was salt treated twice

Stem and shank were scrubbed and sterilized

Pipe received 2 retort treatments

Char and tar marks removed from top of bowl

Teeth marks minimized

Three step buffing process to bowl and stem

Carnauba wax applied to all wood

Obsidian Black applied to stem.

Thank you all. Yes, it is a LHS. I have been cleaning, restoring, repairing pipes as a hobby for quite some time. I'm actually thinking about hanging out a shingle and seeing if I get any takers.

You got everybody's attention, kiddo. Next time, be sure and post the before pix.
Those "capture" respect and business.

Nice work. It looks great. Is that an LHS? Watch out, Tuold might try to buy it from you.
That really is a beauty, a great restoration job and just the kind of pipe of been getting out-bid on for months! Your friend is lucky on two counts, he has a great friend and a great pipe!

Okiescout, that pipe actually came in a large box of estate pipes I got for $20 abut 8 months ago. I am just working my way through the pipes now.
