Good day all. My brother-in-law picked me up a small meerschaum at an antique shop last Christmas. The pipe is a bit of a mess though, dirty, charred rim, and it doesn't look to have been cleaned from the inside. Does anyone have any resources (books, websites) in their back pocket that discuss step-by-step, piece by piece, the process to totally restore a pipe (in general, but specifically meerschaum in this case). It seems that I've seen scattered advice on how to do certain aspects, but no comprehensive guides...

Go to Pipe and Tobaccos Magazine web site, click on articles, Fred Bass has a atricle called Evolution in pursuit of the "White Goddess" in the fall issue. He explains his method of cleaning and restoring meerschaums pipes

Thanks for the resource, Mike. Any general resources (As I would like to buy some pipes on ebay) are appreciated as well.
