Restored Bed Wade

[kf4bsb]

Hello all,
So I just finished up a Ben Wade restoration and thought I would share the results here. First, the before pics,






After my normal restoration process, here is the finished project









Tomorrow morning I will be painting back in the stem logo and then this pipe is going to be put up for sale.

I'm a big fan of restoring the Danish freehand Wades. Where was that beauty made? Incredible restore btw! :clap:

Thank you very much for the kind words. This pipe was made in London, England. Judging from the markings, it was made in Charatan's Prescott Street factory.

Great job bringing that baby back to life.

Impressive. Somehow, you know just from looking at it that you can't buy one just like that anywhere,

except from you I guess. It looks new but it's from another time.

Damned solid work on that saddle bit baby billiard.
Well done.

I like it a lot! You've inspired me to go out to the shop and tackle some nasty looking pipes this weekend.

Nice work! That turned out to be a real beauty!

I believe you've earned the right to puff the chest a bit and strut.

Thank you all for the kind words.

I think that's actually a Ben Wade. Nice job.
