Two old meers that got new stems and going into the rotation.

Claw Egg

and a small cutty

Those have taken color in a great way, especially the claw. Meerschaum can just look dirty, but these have an attractive patina.

Nice!

Very nice. I particularly like the claw meerschaum's stem.
Did you do the stem-work or have them sent out?

 

[lotharen]

That dragon claw is stunning! I love the ageing it has achieved.

I did the clean up and had the stem cut by the repair guy at my local B+M.

The claw is amazing. Great choice on the stem replacement!

Very nice. That stem especially looks nice on the claw egg meer. Beautiful pipes

BEO:
The claw is spectacular, in and of itself, but the simplicity of that black stem on your beautifully colored Cutty just kills.
And thank you for being proud of the quote from Corinthians 16:13. I use it often.

P.S. @Huntertrw, Heidi Montag to Michael Jackson? WTH does your mind live, man? F.

I have a claw which is almost if not exactly identical. Do you have any info with regard to the carver. Mine was in pretty rough shape when I picked it up and I've been working on the clean up. If you don't mind me asking...how did you get into the spaces between the claw and egg and along the areas where the palm of the foot meets the egg? I've tried q-tips and such but am having a heck of a time getting all the old grime out of those tough spots.

hoping this works. This is the pipe the day I picked it up. I'll try to post a pic of it cleaned up and waxed tomorrow

What a gorgeous claw meerschaum. I'm jealous!

 

[jpmcwjr]

Really like both claws posted. Be thrilled to find one myself one day....

aimus1, That meer could have come from the same carver as mine. Similarities are incredible. If you ever want to let it go drop me a line.
