A while back I had the good fortune to come across a pretty amazing collection of Comoy's that I have had sitting around till I had time to clean them up. 7 pipes in all and all but two were pretty rough but well beyond salvageable with some work. Long story short, I did not use enough vasoline on the C before soaking in bleach to remove some pretty severe oxidation and totally disintegrated the white parts of the three part C.
I am seriously upset with myself, 4 of the pipes are Specimen Straight Grains and all are beautiful relics that I had wanted to restore and pass on to my son one day to keep in the family.
Anyone know if there is anyone out there who is able to repair the 3 part C? While pretty handy I am thinking this is something I should farm out... The stems are in otherwise great condition and in the case of the SSG's have the metal tenon so I would prefer to repair them.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
