    Ferndown No Star pipes

    Thanks. That was my theory too but couldn't find anything online that says that. You bought it as an estate?

    Ferndown No Star pipes

    Just took in three unsmoked Ferndowns Barks that I'll be selling. All are quite large. None have stars designating size. Never seen a Ferndown Bark without stars. Can anyone edify me? Thanks, D.

    Les Wood "Star" pipe

    Thanks, guys for comments and photo uploading coaching. The photo is the correct pipe. I also found a comment on the pipephil site indicating that Les Wood sells to the European market, stamping pipes "L.Wood." Apparently the U.S. importer/distributor has the copyright on "Ferndown" and...

    Les Wood "Star" pipe

    The brand name side of the pipe is "Star" above "Made by Les Wood" There is a star stamped into the top of the stem. No LJS on the side of the stem. Right hand nomenclature is "Made by Hand" over "In England."

    Les Wood "Star" pipe

    Bought a number of pipes that include a Les Wood Star. Not a Ferndown - just a Star. Silver spigot. My research has turned up nothing. Any info would be appreciated.

    Pipe for the Wife

    I've got a couple of Comoy's Monogram "Ladies' Pipes", a straight and a bent at the bottom of my English Page here. Might be just the ticket.

    emery board a stem?

    I'd also recommend against an old fashioned emery board. They're very coarse. Simple chatter should come out with 400 sandpaper followed by 600. Or, you can get some foam nail boards at Walgreens in various grits, some very fine. Don't use any abrasive unless you have a buffing wheel to...

    Received My Dave Neeb Commissioned Pipe Today

    Thanks guys for all the very kind comments. You can't imagine how good it makes me feel about myself as a craftsman and a pipe seller. I really appreciate it. I just finished two more pipes that I've been working on along with Shinkano's. You can see them here. Dave

    Different pipe makers and the weight of their pipes

    Lee Erck has done some "before and after" weighing and found that his oil curing process lightens his pipes by an appreciable amount.

    broken stem stuck PLEASE HELP

    Don't worry about removing it. You're not going to be able to replace the stem yourself anyway. For that, I concur with the comments about Mike Myers. Excellent. Any pipes that I put on my website requiring repair go to Mike. I haven't been disappointed yet and don't expect to be.
