Everyman and Savory's Revived (image heavy)

[pipingruotsi]

Just wanted to show you all a couple of my revived estate purchases. I wouldn't call them restored b/c I don't think my work is that high quality yet. But now they look like old, well taken care of pipes instead of something someone tried to use as a garden shovel.

:clap:
Job well done, mate. I'm with Roth, the colour and character of the pipes is wonderful, and they look like their ready for another 20+ years of service.
Thanks for sharing them with us.

Great job with an outstanding result. Enjoy them.

Thanks! Well, I did lose a smidgen...I wasn't able to save the "S" logo on the Savory's stem. I might be able to scribe it back on, but....tricky stuff.

The poker is an especially nice smoker so far. Yesterday, I took my dog for a walk and had my first bowl of H&H House of Lords. The wind was about 15-20 mph, but it smoked cool and evenly. It was one of those magical smokes I'm always chasing.

I would disagree with you there, you did and excellent jobs congrats.

I have 5 Savorys, 2 Pokers and 3 Billards, they were estates but not as bad as yours, you did a bang up job on them , my Savory Courzon Poker and my Tanshell Billard are exceptional smokers, in the class of my Dunhills. Again you did well and you will be glad you got them. :clap:

Very well Done and those really needed the love good job buddy. :clap:

Nice work on those pipes. They will serve you well.

I also have a Savory's Semi_matte billiard that is one of my favorite pipes. They are great smokers with a fine pedigree.

Nope your wrong. Those are restored. Nice work.
I dig that classic bulldog shape.

Well, I guess I stand corrected. They are restored! Thanks :D
I have three Savory's now: this poker, a bent billiard, and a small bent sandblast. I haven't quite figured the sandblast out yet. I think sometimes it takes a while to figure out how a pipe likes to be smoked. I'm sure after I figure that out it will be as great a smoker as the other two.
roth, I'd thought of repainting the logo, but it's too far gone I think. Thanks for the vaseline tip. I have a couple other pipes to try the paint on. Just like doing model cars when I was a kid. Amazing how you'll need something decades after you learn it.
