Yello Bole. No idea how old.
Before

After

I was planning on selling this one, but it still leaves something to be desired. There is still some deep scratches in the briar that I left, for fear of changing the shape.
Be gentle, I'm shy...

You did an excellent job. It's hard to practice restraint, but you did -- and for the right reason. :clap:

Good job, restraint is practiced so little, you didn't change the character of the Old Warrior and he's got a new suit, Terriffic

Nice. You could still sell it but looks like a good burner for a long, relaxing smoke.

Thanks guys. I have the utmost respect for pipe restorers now. It's not as easy as it looks...SHEESH!
I think I'll keep that one, and sell my Petersons instead... :wink:

With gouges that deep you don´t have to worry about the shape - they need to come out and after all the pipe will only look better than before.
Great work! :clap:
