Well, I forgot to photograph the whole pipe before I started (again). But I have one before of the stem from the thread I posted about the stem.

Great job on that. I have a couple estates I grabbed cheap to practice on. Looks like a wonderful job you did there.

Nice work! I was thinking from your earlier thread that it was a Tapestry model. Welcome to the Tapestry club, I have three on my rack.
Did you try to take this tooth indention out? A little heat will probably lift it nicely and then the rest can be sanded smooth (I usually start with 1500 wet, than 2000 and the last two micromesh to get her back shiny).

Thanks guys. It looks pretty good IMHO and smokes nicely, too; I tried out some PS Luxury Flake this morning.
Al, I tried some heat, a candle flame, and got it to raise some. But I was afraid to heat it too much, still leery about that. I suppose I need to be a bit braver with the that, huh? Maybe I'll give it a go tomorrow or next week when I have the time.
