I found this pipe on a beach a few years ago, and it looked like it had bee there for while. I'm not a pipe smoker though I've thought about trying it. I'm just curious what I have found. Is this just a talented carver's home-made pipe, or something else? Looks like maybe ebony or maybe a look-alike to me. It's very well-used and was probably someone's much loved pipe. I notice the bowl wood is cracking and I'd like to stop that. What would you recommend? Can it be restored to smokeable shape?
Not sure why the pic isn't showing, maybe I don't have enough posts. But you should be able to paste the link.
