so i have this somewhat uncontrollable urge to get estates and revamp them. cleaning and so forth just doesn't seem to be enough for me. so here is a pete killarny i got in trade and had to attack. i am not a huge fan of red pipes and i really really am not a fan of a heavy laquer-like shiny finish. i am however a huge fan of texture.

the way he arrived

the suit he wears now

nemrod... i think i have a "problem" with partial rustification. when i look at any pipe that is smooth i am plotting in my mind how i would partially rusticate it.

That's beautiful! I would buy that.
Our opinions of Killarneys are the same. The only thing that needs to be that bright and shiney red is an automobile. I have one and that look got old..real quick!
Again...very nice looking pipe. :clap:

Great job Jason! I love the new look of it. It reminds me of a Nording pipe now.

Jason, that pipe is too cool! The difference is phenomenal. The way the rustication "pours" down the sides of the bowl and creeps up from the bottom. Excellent!

Aye; that Killarny definitely looks like a piece of awesome after you got through with it...your semi-rusty's are all damned impressive, but this one takes the cake!

Thats a grat way to personalize your pipe. I think it looks waaaay better w/ the rustication. It gives it a whole different personality.

Like a whole new pipe, and I'll have to agree with Bob about the Nording look.

Hey Jason, that's one beautiful revamp. Never was a fan of glossy Kilarneys. What a great partial rustication! Real nice.

Wow, that is insane. I really like the design. Truly one of the most attractive pipes I've ever seen.
