Gresham Giant Back From Walker Briar Works

[numbersix]

My Gresham Giant needed a new stem and Dave at Walker Briar Works did an great job. The stem was replaced with a perfectly fitted one. He completed it on time and for a reasonable price.

Thanks a lot everyone. It's a really nice pipe and seemed worth sending it in. Very glad I did, Dave was very professional. He updates his online repair schedule regularly, responds quickly to email - very impressed.

Six:
I'm going to be rude and ask about pricing. I've got a shop in Kansas City that charges 18 bucks plus tax for a mouthpiece and I was really impressed with the turnaround on my Jost Canadian. Is Dave comparable?
Thanks.

That looks great.

fnord: the whole thing cost me $37, this included:
1. new stem

2. polishing

3. repair of fills

4. return shipping
I forget the price of the new stem alone. I think $18 is a little cheaper, but not 100% sure.

Appreciate the info, Six. He did a great job on your pipe and that 37 bucks was well spent.
Thanks for the link to his sked, Rothnh. I need to get the white dot replaced on my one and only Dunhill and I'll give him a ring tomorrow. I've also got a beat to hell and gone Comoy Blue Riband that really has a beautiful pipe underneath all the wreckage. We should probably visit about that as well.

I am not a straight pipe kind of guy BUT, that really looks sharp. ::

Great looking pipe! Good for you Six.
Did he install a sword blade to the end of the stem too? It's long enough.
Sword Canes were so 2012. Sword Pipes are in for 2013.

Sword Pipes are in for 2013.
