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

Wow man, you're really starting to get good at that.
Looks 100 times better IMO, great workPosted 12 months ago # -

lonestar i am almost finished with the bulldogs i got from you.
the one with the hole in the stem is going to get some texture after all, but i want to put them all up as a group. hopefully have them up here by saturday or sunday.Posted 12 months ago # -
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.

That's an awesome idea and that turned out great!

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

Very nice!
If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.Posted 12 months ago # -
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!
Posted 12 months ago # -
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!
Posted 12 months ago # -
Thats a grat way to personalize your pipe. I think it looks waaaay better w/ the rustication. It gives it a whole different personality.
Posted 12 months ago # -
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.

I wish I could add something more articulate than what's already been said...just...wow. I want one.

Great job! Even though it slightly hurts my Peterson bone (that is connected to the nicotine bone, they help make up your souls skeleton) the only thing better than rustication is partial rustication and you did really well!
Posted 12 months ago # -
Wow if I sent you a pipe would you do that rustication work for me!!!!!!! That pipe is amazing!!

bubba - of course i would.
i was actually about to make that an open offer, as i would really enjoy doing more and i need to keep myself from spending money getting more to do this stuff to, and i only have a couple estates left that haven't been attacked yet.
my girlfriend's ex-husband is a decent guy and used to make knives. this week he gave me a table top band-saw, bench top belt sander, a couple of drills, and a scroll saw so i need to keep myself busy while i save money to egt some bits and briar from pimo and some acrylic blanks. hopefully in a couple of months i will be making pipes from scratch...
but aside from my ramble if anyone wants me to partially rusticate an old pipe they have i am completely down. just send me a pm.Posted 12 months ago # -
assaad - i was actually expecting to hear something about doing this to a peterson, as i know there are a lot of peterson die-hards on here. i am glad no one went that way. i really like the pipe and the feel of it. it is my second pete and both smoke great. i love the big open draw of a pete. i just really like making my pipes my own, and now i own a one-of-a-kind peterson.
and thanks to all for the compliments. i am glad it is well received.
also very flattered by the nording compare. his partial rust pipes have always been a favorite of mine. i only have one nording currently but hope to one day get more.ok done babbling.

I love my Petersons but, I don't care for the super slick shiny red finish on the new Killarneys. Your modification rocks!
Posted 12 months ago # -
Gotta agree that i'm not a major fany of the super shiney finishes. In my opinion that is a 100% improvement on that pipe. I'd buy one like that in a shot if Peterson started doing that finish in the factory!
Posted 12 months ago # -
Jason, you should search around for a Nording "carve your own" pipe kit. They're like $25-$30 and they smoke just like a Nording, but you get to shape it how you like. I cleaned out pipesandcigars inventory when I ordered 3 a couple weeks ago, but theres other places that carry them.
