Fellow pipe smokers
I have been working on some very bad shape pipes I got to practice restorations techniques, here is another sample, this pipe was filthy, with a lot of oxidation in the stem plus a lava rim, after cleaned it up, reamed the bowl, cleaned the rim and polisshed the stem, it started to grown on me despite the fact that it came as a complement with another pipe I bought and at the beginning I did not like too much.
I decided then I will try a new thing on this one something to give it a little more light, I talked to a jeweler friend of mine in orther to fab a silver band just for fun a no more than an aesthetic purposes.
I guess it comes pretty nice, what do you guys think ?
