Simple Pipe Cleaning Project

[durham270]

This pipe is a Peterson Donegal Rocky in need of a good cleaning,
The project of cleaning, sterilizing and polishing was completed over a period of 24 hours using bleach for the stem, 1200 grit sandpaper, toothbrush, Dremel tool with polishing wheel and Carnauba wax.

Restored pipe

Nice pipe. It looks like it cleaned up well. Hope it's a good smoker.

Nice job, pal. Always amazing what a little elbow grease can accomplish.

I especially like how the restoration brought out the flash in your camera!

408's are some of my favorite from Peterson, nice looking pipe.

I thought the same thing hfearly :rofl:
Good job durham. I don't know about you but I feel really good after a resto project and then smoking that first bowl. (Disclaimer: I have only worked on three pipes, so I am not like some of the pros on here)
