    Educate me on fills, please

    A pipe's value is dependent on a lot of factors: appearance, engineering, size, grain, etc. Filling materials are like wood paste, colored to match the briar as closely as possible, in order to fill the unexpected pits found in the stummels after shaping and sanding. They are barely...

    Very new

    Get a wooden dowel from a hardware store, slightly larder than the hole. Drill,out the hole, apply a little wood glue, and push it in. I have a couple of really old corn cobs that I fixed that way. Then save you up some money and get a nice Savinelli, Peterson, or Briarworks pipe.
