First Attempt at Pipe Restoration: Kaywoodie Ninety-Fiver

celticbrewer · Mar 11, 2019

Found this awesome looking guy at an antique store for 20 bucks. Loved the grain on it and the price had an appeal. From what I can tell, it comes from the late 40s or so. Mainly needed work on the stem and metal shank - I didnt do any oxyclean treatments, just a ton of sanding (up to 12,000 grit) and then some cleaning and wax on the rest of the pipe. Its not perfect, but fairly proud with how it came out!

That's very nice! A local antique store has a couple estate kaywoodies for sale by me. I should really think about looking at them again....

Nicely done. A ninety-fiver was a pretty high grade Kaywoodie.

Noice! Really great job, I wouldn’t have been able to tell that was your first attempt. Looks like you’ve got a knack for this. That is s lovely pipe too!
