First off this is what started my new obsession, I have a friend who smokes a pipe and said he got it at an antique shop. I thought that's pretty cool, so I went by a shop just to see if there were any around and found a pipe. It was nothing special at all just an old Wally Frank beater. I had no clue about pipes. I bought it and thought it would be really fun to refinish this thing and make it look good. I had no idea what I was getting into, I checked out some stuff online grabbed some sandpaper and went to work. That was just over a month ago but I am fairly certain I have found a hobby I will enjoy for the rest of my life. There are many imperfections and it's not perfect by any means but here's what I ended up with.
