Comoy's 331C Grand Slam Refurb

[ssjones]

I'm finally getting some time to get back into the shop and work on some pipes. This Comoy's Grand Slam didn't require much effort. The briar is really handsome in the flesh.
Full details and pictures are on the Reborn Pipes blog entry below.

Even Auric Goldfinger would be impressed with your Operation Grand Slam.

Great work, Al. Always a pleasure to see what you do for these pipes.

The stem work is amazing. Shine like a new one

yet another great resto from Al

Thanks guys, that one was pretty simple. My job has been crazy lately, and I've barely had time to smoke a pipe, much less work on one. So, it's been good getting back out into the shop.

VERY nice! Big bowl for a relatively small bend. I admit to being prejudiced, though -- bent bulldogs take up at least half of one of my bigger racks.

Nice job, Al. Love it.

Very nice Al,as it happens I too have just aquired a 331c golden grain in need of very little restoration.

Let's get that a little bigger. Looks like love and some micromesh could fix that little guy right up!

 

[ssjones]

That won't take much Paul! My 331C is heading close to you, to a new owner in Cyprus.

Al, which of the Meguiars polishes do you use?

 

[ssjones]

Meguiars has a number of plastic polishes. This one happened to be in my car polishes/waxes cabinet, so I just started using it:

Okay, I'll give it a go. Usually just wax, or use Paragon, but always on the lookout for a better protectant.
