LHS Certified Purex shape #99

Almost ready for the fun part. After being stripped, reamed, cleaned, dents steamed and sanded.

Buffer fuzz cleaned out and fresh carbon bowl coating added for the finishing touch.

Dave:
My guess is that this pipe did not look this good when new! Mr. Stern would have been proud!
Please let us know how it smokes.

Monotonous; but another expert restoration job by Dave. Honestly, Hunter is right, it probably did not look this good when new!

Another pipe well done. It's a treat seeing these pipes get a second life. Thanks.
