Another Pipe by Lee, this time a 2-star.

The bowl and rim were grimy, but otherwise ok. Murphy’s Oil Soap, a toothbrush, and some cotton pads did the trick.

The stem was lightly oxidized, but a Magic Eraser didn’t get it all, so I soaked it in OxyClean before hitting it with 600 grit wet sandpaper and micro mesh pads. There was a bit of chatter near the bit, but not enough to bother me, so a light Bic treatment took care of some of it.

A drop of olive oil on a cotton pad brought some life back to the stain. Finished with Decatur wax and a buff with a shoe brush.
