Ashdigger’s 1904 Peterson Meer

[didimauw]

It’s way to mottled to be a dye job, I’d think it’s au natural.

That's what I was thinking too. And Im not sure what year they started dyeing the meers.

They dyed meers in the late 1800’s forward.

They were commonly referred to as OxBlood.

That is 100% wax and tobacco smoke coloring this old gal !

I think we need to cut this pipe in half to determine how meers colour

no disrespect to Ryan Alden but to my eyes that is a much better stem for that pipe.But then I like plain stems, black or amber or at a push maybe cumberland

lovely job

While the stems are great, and I love colored stems, the real genius is the repair to the shank.

BUT, I have plans in the works, since I’m clinical insane, for more stems. Lol.

You need to make another 3 stems to complete the 7 day set bro!

Well, two more down and one to go.

That dark amber stem just nails it

That dark amber stem just nails it

The dark amber seems to be the crowd favorite, I personally like the orange amber.

Great work

The orange (eegyolk) amber is more in keeping with the original look

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Does anyone know of a pipe with more stems?

 

[yohanan]

Congrats man, You do Great work!!!

There’s about to be another one with the same number of stems…

I have a couple with 2 stems apiece.
And I thought that was overkill
