Show Off Your Kaywoodie Pipes

[towhee89]

That pipe is AWESOME! I thought I had my Kaywoodie buying pretty much satiated, but now a 92B is going to be something I need to get…

This FlameGrain Meer 09B came to me on a $10 eBay win in a little worse condition but with the same stuck stinger situation.
I fashioned a “heat shield/sink” to protect the shank and applied the tenon fixture directly to the heating element of electric stove and was able to get it apart without harm.

Awesome pipe. I have heard quite a few people's methods to get it free and they are all different... for the moment, I am setting it aside so I don't mess anything up

Got home to a nice surprise today! Picked this one up on EBay the other day. Unsmoked, but not for long, Kaywoodie Zulu Standard 01. This will make my second Kaywoodie.

Just spent about 30 min cleaning up this really early push bit 07. It’s a pretty exceptional example.

Just picked up this unsmoked I'm guessing late 60's early 70's Kaywoodie Dublin. Cost 3 times the original price tag.

Great find. Can't go wrong with that one, especially the price

Several years ago at my first pipe show (Kansas City) I was gifted this Kaywoodie Matched Grian cased pair by Tony Solderman. They were in a pretty sad state at the time, the Liverpool had been shortened at the shank to remove a crack and turned into a billiard and both pipes had been buffed to death. The vast majority of the stamping was gone. I tucked them away in a drawer as I had neither the skill or inclination to repair them properly at that time. A few days ago I was digging through that very same drawer and came upon them, I thought I could probably straighten these out now.



So I whipped up a new stem for the former Liverpool now billiard, and cleaned up the 14 a little as well. I think the 14 might be getting a new black acrylic stem sometime in the very near future though.

Very nice work! Did you make the clover insert or find a donor?

Thank you. It’s from the original stem, I just forgot to snap a pic before I removed it.

 

[RustiePyles CPG]

Cleaned up the case a little as well.
