Sorry, I keep coming back and drooling all over your pipes. But I can't help it. Fantastic.

Talk about karma! I have heard it said that life is a test. Looks like you are passing it!

Thanks for all of the great comments guys. The restoration has begun. I did the Comoy Celebration today and smoked it for the first time tonight. It is a great little smoker. Actually It isn't very big but I smoked a bowl of John Aylesbury Luxury flake and it lasted about an hour. I also started work on the Ben Wade and the little Dunhill bent bulldog. I will post a full spread of the pipes when I get them all restored with a before and after shot.

Yeah my FIL is a great and Godly man. When I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage he gave me his blessing and then he prayed with me. When I returned from the mission field he taught me how to paint and I worked for him for a year. He became not just my FIL at that time but my friend as well.

Well said, Boss:
"A father in law is going to do something like this if he is appreciative to the man that wed his princess, and the way that he has witnessed that relationship progress."
And, you as well, Dave:
"When I asked for his daughter's hand in marriage he gave me his blessing and then he prayed with me."
Okay, then let's rethink the stupidly expensive bottle of Bourbon, sourmash or single malt and maybe consider a nice - and I mean NICE - gift certificate to Lowe's, Home Depot, Country Kitchen, etc. that would please him?
Obviously, he thinks the world of you, Dave. You're a lucky man, pard.

The restorations have begun. Look for threads titled "Mother Load: Name of the Pipe". Already posted about the Ben Wade. The Comoy is also done and I will post it soon.
