I got this pipe on Oct 16th. I have been lazy to restore it to a smokable state till today. Today I thought, let’s do something quick so it is smokable.
The few pipes I have restored before, I have sometimes forgotten to take the before pictures, but not today. I diligently took the before pictures, before I embarked on the journey. Here are the things wrong with the pipe
I have almost completed.The last step is pending and the final pipe should be ready for display around 4:15 PM EST
The few pipes I have restored before, I have sometimes forgotten to take the before pictures, but not today. I diligently took the before pictures, before I embarked on the journey. Here are the things wrong with the pipe
- The stem is fairly oxidized and looks purple/maroon. This is the worst
- The stummel is dark/dirty with thick rim charring
- Fairly thick cake inside the chamber
I have almost completed.The last step is pending and the final pipe should be ready for display around 4:15 PM EST
