Earlier this week I posted some picks of a restoration of a nice little LHS pot style pipe I had done for a friend of mine and sent to him as a gift. While I did have the "after" pics, I didn't have any "before" pics at the time. Well, I managed to find a couple so I thought I would post them all again here.
So, here are the before pics;
After a little work and
bowl reaming
2 salt treatments
scrub and sanitizing of the stem and shank
2 retort treatments
stripping of the old wax
buffing, polishing, and new wax
removal of oxidation from the stem
removed/reduced teeth marks
removed oxidation from stem
I was able to send him this
