Bulk Pipe stems

[irish]

Hey Gents, I have a bunch of pipe bowls but no stems. Is there any place you can buy lots of different styles and sizes of pipe stems in bulk? Just wondering. I can't afford to have someone replace the stems on so many so thought I might try my hand at repairing them myself. Thanks in advance.

Irish,there are several places to buy stems. You won't be able to buy stems you can just stick in your pipe though. They will require work.Tenons will need to be turned to fit the shank and the stem needs to be faced and filed and/or sanded down to the diameter of the shank. You can get them here--

Figured I would find a thread about stems somewhere in this sub-forum.
I just won these on EBay; Bari Senior - Savinelli Oscar Smooth - Owl Shop(?). Incredible deal.

Going to need three stems. I my just take them to that JH Lowe place you linked, ejames, in CBus next time I am up there for work. Was just there on Fri.
