Pipe Restoration That Exceeds Expectations

[shanez]

I posted some pics of a couple of pipes I acquired before having them restored. Well, the restoration is complete and I am simply over the moon about the results.
Member piffyr (Anthony Cook of Cook's Fine Pipe Works) did the work so all credit goes to him. (Also, thank you to Sable for recommending him.) I am very happy with my decision to use his services and I don't think I could've made a better choice. He is a restoration artist! I've got a couple more pipes I'll be sending him this week.
I was stunned when Anthony reached out to me about having pictures of my pipes on Pipedia. Me? My pipes? I eagerly accepted and I'm sill a little in shock. He made it very easy for me; he did the restoration work, he took the pictures, and he made the submission.
Without further ado, here are the links:

Scroll down a bit on the pages and there's my pipes. I still can't believe it.

I was liking piffyr’s restore on your pipes on Instagram. That Knudsen still gets the trophy for best pipe find (ever).

You know, looking at the W.O. Larsen again, it wouldn't surprise me if it was also made by Teddy Knudsen.

WOW those look incredible. Not my style of pipe but holy cow! I’d be proud to own one of those.

Incredible pipes to be sure. Are there any photos from before the restoration work?

 

[piffyr]

It was my absolute pleasure to work with these beautiful pipes, Shane. I hope that you enjoy them to the fullest.
