Amber Stem Loose

[smittyd]

I was gifted a very old and very beautiful CFP briars bulldog with a am Dr stem. The stem is a screw in kind. It screws In perfectly and stops when it should, however it is very loose and tends to unscrew with the weight of the bowl. Any suggestions?

Forgive the auto correct that is supposed to say a Amber stem.

Bone screw tenon? If so, smoke it. It should tighten up.

I was wondering if that would help, but I wanted to get some advise first. The Pipe is very clean and does not look like it was used for quite some time.

Looking at it now the screw ten on looks original and part of the Amber Stem. Will smoking it still help?

Smitty, yes the pipe is all original. Yes, it hasn't been smoked after I had it professionally restored about 4 years ago.
Smoke it, just be careful the first few times.

Ok thanks. I absolutely love it by the way
