Dog Done it

Looks like if I ever need to send work off I will be using WBW.

I'm finally finished admiring Dave's restoration work and I'm firing up a bowl of C&D USS Mason. Thanks for all the great comments.

Hi Everybody,
Our thanks to Keith for the nice posts regarding his pipes, and our restoration efforts. It is a beautiful pipe, and we were happy we could bring it back to its "pre-puppy" state.
The pipe was a true team effort. Mike Myers, our pipe artisan, hand cut your stem. To say he is pleased that you are so pleased would be a major understatement. Mike is an artist and a worrier, always worrying about how people will find his work. I don't know why he worries though, as his work is always beautiful and perfect
I raised and removed the bowl gnaws and refinished the bowl, so I can happily take credit for that. The pipe is beautiful, and to bring it back to it's former glory truly was a labor of love for both of us.
Thanks again, Keith, and thanks to all the others who left such nice comments too.

Thanks for the detail Dave and terrific work. I thought you WERE Houdini if you could have restored the original chewed stem. What an amazing duplicate! Hats off to you and Mike.

@ Dave Wolff and all the team of Walker Briar Works... Well Done! :clap: :worship:
I'm glad they were able to help you out, Keith. That is a gorgeous pipe.
If, (Gods forbid!), anything ever happens to one of my higher end pipes, I know exactly where I'm going for help.

That pipe has a second life fore sure. Its beautiful. I can see why you didn't get rid of the dog and it was worth what ever you paid for the referb.

Funny thing is, I have a cat that has been missing for over a week.
I would give every pipe I got to have that cat home safe.
I got some nice pipes, but at the end of the day they are just some pipes.
I miss my damn cat.

Yes very nice job

Be careful with it. I'm sure the dog will be happy to have his chew toy back again.

If he does it again, we might be seeing a new black fur pipe holder in his net post!

Wow.
That is one beautiful pipe. I couldn't tell from the first picture because we only got to see the side.
Perfect restore job as well.
Sorry GhostBusters; I'm calling Walker Briar Works.
