FlameGrain Bulldog Resto: Before/After

[ejames]

Maybe KW did something like Linkman did when it came to number stamps. On a Linkman,a letter following the number usually indicated a variation of a basic shape. "A" might mean tapered stem, "B" a saddle bit stem.

That looks incredible! I have a 98S on the way and I hope it looks as great as yours. If not I may send it to you to work your magic. The 98S has a saddle bit; but I have a hard time seeing the difference between the 98 and 99 bulldogs.

I'm glad this thread was bumped from 2 weeks ago because I missed it the first time around.

That restoration is amazing! :clap:

Thanks so much for the before and after pix! I know it's always a bit of a PITA to do, but we appreciate it greatly.

Great work and a very good looking pipe. Wonderful shape, one of the most beautiful bulldogs i've ever seen by the way.
