All Briar Clean Up Before/After

[danielplainview]

I got selfish and decided to work on one of my own pipes recently. This isn’t really a restoration just a basic rejuvenation. Overlooking the grunge factor, the pipe was in excellent condition. Most of these All Briar’s have been chewed up and smoked to death. I lucked out finding this. This addition makes 2 in the arsenal.

Beautiful. I know mine came out just as nice.

Wow, what a shape. You were lucky to find one in that condition, it looks new now.
I wonder who the factory assigned to those all-briar stems? Were they more challenging to make than a vulcanite stem?

 

[bigpond]

Wow! What a looker. Looks like something that would have come out of the Kaywoodir factory, wrt shape.

Just beautiful. This pic makes me think of the classic speed boat in 'On Golden Pond.

Fabulous job, can't believe.

 

[cwarmouth]

Wow. Looks great, Dave. Nice find and nice work. I am always amazed at the way you can lighten up the colors on these pipes. Try as I may, I cannot pull it off.

Thanks guys.

Yes, this shape from LHS always reminds me of a ships hull.
