Tilshead Saddle Stem Dublin

[craig61a]

Sloppy snowy Spring day. I worked on this Tilshead. The chamber rim was pretty ugly, with knife slips and charring. Rather than top it, I opened up the upper portion of the chamber to get rid of the damage.

The rim is reasonably back in round. I coated the inside of the bowl with maple syrup and activated charcoal.

This would’ve been a JU “P” if not for small blemish on the right hand side of the shank. The briar looks like what they were using in the mid eighties.

Looks quite a bit like a Savinelli 904 or a GBD 9613.

Yeah, I guess it does at that… Maybe I should bent the stem a little.

Yes. I’m quite happy with the way it turned out.

Here’s what the rim looked like prior to beginning work on it…

These days my member is pretty thoughtless. Wasn’t always that way though…

You done good!

Excellent work. Glad you’re smoking it. That’s a keeper for sure. Check out that damn bird’s eye on the rim of the pipe…gorgeous. Don’t bend the stem, leave as is and enjoy. Great pipe and thanks for the pics.

I fired this pipe up yesterday with some 2021 Mac Baren Golden Brown Burley London Blend. Smokes like a dream…

You get hacked?

You get hacked?

No this thread got buried by a member whose best thinking was to gang respond to a pile of new member posts all at once, burying any and all then current threads by pushing them off the front page.

It's great to welcome new visitors, but why be so lazy and impersonal about it by going to the area where the new member posts are gathered and just mechanically copying and pasting one post after another while screwing with the flow of discussions as a result?

Exactly who is benefited by that?
