Here’s a set I picked up, and am fortunate Steve Laug of Reborn Pipes accepted a challenge on.



Here’s the link to his site. The Bulldog is complete. The Billiard will added to this thread when complete.

Wow Tim! The that’s pretty amazing!

Great read thanks for posting!
That bulldog is looking great. I can’t wait to see the Bullard transformed.

 

[Country Bladesmith]

Wow! The result was well worth his effort. Looks great, especially compared to the before pictures. A lot of people would’ve probably just written that one off.

That's a great set, man!

They're mighty handsome in their case. My father was two years old when those were made.

I saw that set but decided to pass on it. I'm glad you took it on.
An amazing result on the bulldog. Now ready for many more years service. Enjoy.

That's an awesome set and very kind or reborn pipes to take it on! The work looks stunning in comparison from what he had to start with! Congrats!!
