Nice work as usual. I've got 3 maybe 4 LHS pipes. Mine are all excellent smokers. I've got a bulldog, a lovat, an author and a prince, so, ya, it's 4. Had to stop and think.
Dave:
I, too, have an estate LHS Sterncrest Sterling, and purchased it because of the hunting dog on the band; however, its transformation was not as radical as yours. Good job, Sir!
Astounding work as usual! The grain on that superfine looks like a freshly poured Bodingtons! I have an LHS Purex Superfine waiting to be restored. I hope I can get it looking half as good as you did yours.
Seriously, I could stare into that grain all day.
Wonderful work, as usual, my friend.
I have a little LHS scoop which I love. I really enjoy the design elements which LHS built into their shape chart. They were very clearly marching to their own drum-beat.
Congrats on your new burners.

Beautiful work, as usual! I've got another Sterncrest billiard coming in next week from ebay. I don't think it will ever look as good as yours, but it will be enjoyed as much.
