Superb. What did you use to build up the rim? He sure beat the heck out of it- probably knocking out dottle on an ashtray or cement.

That's really impressive. It's reborn.

Your restoration revealed a lovely pipe!

I built up the damaged rim with the medium CA glue mixed with briar dust. Just like the bit I built it up in layers then blended it with files and sand paper then micro mesh. The top of the shank was banged up real bad so just ca was used to fill that area though it now leaves a patch that's more shiny in that spot and it bugs me lol

Where did you get the briar dust? Is that from an old pipe that you're grinding down for dust? You have a fine touch for restoration work.

correct, every time ive topped a pipe i keep the briar dust for just this project. i also have a old busted briar pipe that i sand to collect more if i run short. i should just buy a block of briar for the sake of having it on hand.
