Thanks a lot for that bit of info - very interesting!If you notice in the drawing the shank is threaded. There is no threaded aluminum fitting in the shank.... The Tru-Grains are not as common as the Deluxe etc.You got a nice one!
Thanks-I polished the bowl using micromesh, very fine, then just applied some carnauba wax. The shine really popped in the sunlight when I took the pic - the bowl isn't quite as dramatic in person - but it does look very nice anyway.Well done Six! What did you use to polish?
I will tell you - the singer on his one didn't have any ill effect at all. Not a single gurgle - smoked very dry. However, it did burn hot. Not sure if it was my technique or if the pipe is over smoked. Will have to wait to see on that.very nice.... 'cept the stinger.
Thanks roth - I hope you're right!I'm thinking it's more about getting used to smoking this new (for you) Dr. Grabow. I'd wager you'll come around to the pipe :wink:
So true - this older Grabow is as well made as any pipe I own.I agree with brian64: "they just don't make 'em like they used to."
All my linkman's have the propeller symbol, not sure when they switched to the spade.Very nice Grabows :clap:The symbol on the stem made me think it was a Linkman's
