Beautiful job on the pipe, I know someone that would kill for a Ben Wade like that. Well maybe not kill but he might use a taser on you ?Here’s another save by Ryan Alden. This is a 1906 Ben Wade footed Briar. Ryan really went to town. It has a new Cumberland Stem. Reinforced Band and Shank as well as new silver work at the cap. It was beat all to hell, now it’s absolutely gorgeous. He even ran it through an Ozone gizmo.
Breaking it in with some Granger

Nice little pipe on the bottom there, @Birddog66. Looks like a Blakemar 'Torpedo'.Afternoon/morning everyone, I needed a strong start today so it was Irish Flake in the Astley’s bird head (I guess that name has stuck) and I just finished some MM American Patriot in a Markus.
Next up is HU Manyara in a 1960’s (hallmark is worn but the decade is correct) Donegal Rocky bulldog.
Have a great weekend folks. View attachment 142791
