I had recently gotten some older Peterson pipes on the cheap. When they arrived, I saw exactly why. I am new to cleaning/restoring pipes, and I needed ones like these to practice on.
The interior of the bowls on a couple look as if the previous owner reamed them with a Bowie knife. To called the existing shape a circle would be stretch, even in Picasso's world.
Question is what are my options? I don't think it hinders the performance of the pipe, but is it possible to have it sanded or whatever back to a nice circle shape?
