[clangillespie]

Here are 4 pipes I picked up on ebay for $16.00 2 Jon's a Treaty Bond and a Sommers Grand Luxe Bruyere, they are not done but getting close thought I would share.

Looks good so far. I'm all for giving old pipes a second life regardless of their pedigree. Keep it up, and show us the finished pipes!

Very nice, you did a great job on those stems. Did you use a machine to polish them?

 

[clangillespie]

I used a little heat, a finish file, and 5000 grit sandpaper. polished them with a polish cloth and denicare.

Great, thanks for the answer.

Boy, looks like someone smoked those pretty much every waking hour, although the bowls look reasonably open. I guess you reamed out some cake. I'm surprised the stem and bits came up as well as they did, as discolored as they were. Amazing how much is left of them after hard use.
