Ludlow Saylor Wire Company Lovat Clean Up

[solideogloria86]

For background on this pipe, see here.

Here are a few before and after shots. Just a simple clean up.
First step was to remove the stinger. Used magic eraser followed toothpaste and a scrubber sponge to remove oxidation from the bit. Followed by a soft cloth polish with Decatur No-Ox stem oil. Everclear and cotton ball soak for the chamber. Several rounds of Everclear dipped pipe cleaners and a shank brush to get the airway to a satisfactory condition. Finally a coat of Feed N Wax on the exterior.

After it's had a day or 2 to dry I'll fire it up.

That pipe is Pugly. Which means delightfully, pleasingly, and charmingly ugly. You know like a pug. Pugly it's word I am trying to popularize.

I agree. I think charmingly ugly is exactly how I'd describe it. Pugly is a good term.

Thanks. It's not taken off like Roast beast has. It is a charmingly ugly pipe. I can't wait to hear more about smoking it.

I'll try to squeeze it in to more of my forum parlance. Maybe someone will post a picture of their kids, or grandkids soon and I'll test it out.
