[agnosticpipe]

Ah yes, nice to see someone else "making a silk purse out of a sows ear". Excellent job, with beautiful results!

looks great! I have a cheap pipe that has some finish flaking off. I was toying with the idea of re-staining, but now I might have to try a hand at some rustication! Need to work on it internally first. Will try to open up the draught hole.
Are you sure you don't want to share some of your secrets?!

Wonderful execution on the pipe! It looks terrific!
Also, the English was pretty good as well.
Welcome to the forums.

Your english is fine I don't speak it any better, born and raised in states. I have not done any restoration myself, that is why I'm reading these post to learn. Think you did a wonderful job. Looks Great!

Like everybody else I add my congrats, and thanks for the tour through the process.
It was enjoyed!

You turned something horrible into something fantastic. That's something to be proud of! Your english is as fantastic as your restoration. Keep up the good work, and welcome to the forums!

I feel like there should be a thread on taking ugly old beaters and completely reinventing them. And then I think that pipe should take the prize!

Very impressive awesome job.

Beautiful work, you really brought that pipe back into shape. It often takes the eyes of a true enthusiast to see the gem hidden away under the fills and oxidation, good job indeed!
