LHS All Briar Restoration.

[voorhees]

I bought this little Rhodesian only because it had the all briar stem. Then I wasn't sure I could do the restoration of it. One guy who probably could came to me. Our very own member and LHS guru, dave g.
It had to be topped a bit and he worked his magic on the rest.
Dave, sorry it took so long for me to post the pictures.
Before.



After.

It's always nice to see a pipe like this brought back to life. Great job on all sides! I had an LHS Sterncrest once and liked it. I hope you enjoy this pipe for years to come. ::

He waxed it I guess. He is a heck of a restorer.

Compliments on the renewed pipe! Nice resurrection there, Dave!

Wow! That is a beauty of a pipe! Great job on the restoration. Never knew that LHS made a line of briar stemmed pipes, very cool indeed!
Question- is that a push in or threaded stem?

Threaded stinger.

 

[cigrmaster]

That is amazing.

That turn out better than expected.
Jason, hope it makes a good burner. They smoke nice for ribbon cut. If you remove the stinger it has a nice open draw.
