    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Ok. I just finished the first one. There are a few imperfections, but for a start, I'm satisfied. I have four more in the queue, I'll let you know in this thread. In front of you, the one and only "Real Briar":

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Epoxy is a good idea, but I don't have any on hand (another thing I need to buy). I've decided to sand it down. Little bit shorter, but no worries :)

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Hey, I wont make another topic, but I'll put my restoration adventures in here. I'm during work on couple of pipes, and I have a question. Do any of you know how can I fill this gap? I've experimented with some putty, but it keeps chipping off.

    Smoke slowly they've said.

    One thing to mention, is that I've tried for the first time Frank method. But I don't think it will have much of an impact. As a result, my previous method does virtually the same thing. I just started to taste what I thought was a "misfire" until recently. A dry and pleasant smoke.

    Nope. Nothing.

    Man. I think I've just got it. Just putted away a white ash of Peterson's Old Dublin, after almost two hours. I'm smoking my pipes for two weeks now. I thought, that I'm doing that very slowly. Breath method etc. But this time I've done it even slower. And this time I was able to appreciate...

    More New Forums Members Than Ever? Why Is That?

    To me, it seems that somewhere subconsciously one longs for normal times. For a life without constant running and stress. More and more people are looking for this. I was also looking for it and started reading about pipe smoking at the same time longing for the "good old days". As I started...

    Orlik Gold

    So, basically after reading linked article the conclusion is that this pipe is a crap :) On the other hand, she' s calling me in some mysterious way. I'll see how the situation develops. For now, the equivalent of $6, 10 interested people and almost a week to go.

    Hey guys, what do you think about this pipe? It's Orlik Gold 182. Worth a buy?

    @Ahi Ka This one? https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/thoughts-on-modifying-the-finish-of-a-peterson-rosslare-royal-irish-sanblast.84683/ Another thing learned. Dump in acetone for a little while. I was also rubbing with soaked cloth. Thanks! :ROFLMAO:

    She the last one in my restoration adventures. Got 5 cheapos, that I can train with.

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Only on one pipe I've sanded the stain (cheap one). We'll see how she'll turn out.

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Another question about this pipe. Maybe someone will be able to help. I've a little the top just to see (from curiosity). Have you ever encountered something like this (this yellow part)? Where can I find more information about this piece?

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Thank you! Agreed. Fair point. But I'm still confused. What is collectible? How to determine one? What about my newly gathered vauen? Can I play with it? :)

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Thanks for the replies. I was afraid I would get a ban for changing the color :) I'll play around with cheaper estate ones. I'll let you know.

    Original Stain... Or Not?

    Good morning y'all. Just wondering. What is your approach when restoring a pipe? Do you try to maintain the original painting at any cost, or do you change the pipes dramatically to your liking? I am thinking here of pipes for personal use, not for sale.

    What kind of wood is that?

    Thank you @UB 40 ! I've been to this site before, but couldn't find such a cool summary among the individual entries. It will be very useful to me. My favorite. When I saw this, I knew she would be mine. :)
