Restoring this old Israeli pipe for a good buddy of mine. It was his grandfather's and he wants it fixed up so he can keep it on his desk to remember him.
It's been a minute since I've done an estate, but playing with this pipe today is making me itch for more lol.

Keep it on his desk?!? What th....?
SMOKE that suckka!
Looks like you have everything in order. How much oxyclean do you put in the water bath?
It's a great feeling to restore an old pipe! The vulcanite stem work really makes them look great again. I have a bunch that I need to restore but can't seem to find the time.
I'm working on sucking him in to the black hole....dont you worry lolQuote:

I don't measure, just kinda guesstimate based off how much water I am using.Quote:

There's a kid I work with who has a bunch of his GrandFathers pipes.I've cleaned
6 for him already.I'm just sanitizing them.A bit of topping the bowls and some
polish on the bits.I don't want to remove the character his GF put into them.
I have been cleaning the bits as much as possible,removing the saliva stains
and oxidation.There's one that his Mom claimed.a Bent Bob's,sweet little pipe.
It's an off-brand of Wally frank.
Quick shot of the finished product. He wanted the patina left as much as possible so I left the bowl pretty much how it was except s little waxing https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5da251e69e.jpg
