David that is a nice setup. I remember that blue stemmed devil.

I received a package the other day. Apparently my parents age 75 & 77 went online an ordered this Peterson Standard 303 in the special gift set that included the lighter. My first Peterson. It sure is shiny. And now for the photos....

Question: After taking photos of this new Peterson I noted that the bowl had traces of stain inside from the finishing process, which is understandable. My question, has anyone/does anyone carefully sand away that layer of unwanted material before smoking? I am inclined to do so, not wanting to smoke that small amount of whatever finish was used.

That grain is gorgeous, your parents picked you out one heck of a pipe! I don't know about sanding out any stained finish, but some people sand out the pre-carbonization from the inside of the bowl.

but, yep, the right pipe, those people are really nice. i was disappointed they didn't show up to the KC pipe show, i was all ready to buy about 5 of 'em.

edit: just went to their site. they've obviously re-stocked since thanksgiving. i was looking at buying one for my SPS kid, but they were out of anything in that price range and worthy of purchasing.

Not the same photo that was there the other day when I posted. That pipe was $220 with a 2.3 inch chamber depth.

Post #785. I just quoted the wrong post

Awesome carving though. Too bad its so damned huge

Eriksen sandblasted straight pipe


Sasieni 4-dot Ruff Root #2 (my main pipe)


I need another pipe (or two or three, or...) but don't know what type/kind/shape to get next. Decisions...decisions...

Thanks... This is a great forum! So much knowledge in one place...

Looking at my pipes, I guess I am a fan of Briar pipes with a rough texture to them. Nothing fancy... just plain ol' working man's pipes but with a touch of character!

That is one fat and sassy Eriksen!

Here is the lot of 5 pipes that I won on ebay a few weeks ago, and a sixth one, that I just finished restoring:



Most of them were in good condition and only need minor sanding on the stem. But one of them was pretty nasty so I decided to take before and afters of it. So, here is the before:




After:




Looks like I did a pretty good job, if I say so myself. Lots of thanks to Richard (tzaddi) for giving me tips on how to do this. Beeswax works wonders!

holy chit that comoys needs a reaming.
nice cleanup work though.

not pictures of pipes, but pictures of my two dogs today in the snowstorm.

Seanhue, if you havent done so , the shank (air way, drafthole etc) will need a reaming. That much cake in the bowl, the airway is probably constricted.

if you have bristle pipe cleaners, you can dip them in some rubbing alcohol, and scrub away....

Really? I thought I had to get a reamer and stuff to do it. Funny thing that I have yet to actually smoke a bowl of pipe tobacco and I'm doin all this work to make them all pretty lol

[IHT]

bristle cleaners are different than normal cleaners (i have a hard time holding onto them, they poke through my skin often, especially in winter months when my hands dry really bad).
they make a "shank brush", but i don't know if you'd need that or not... if there's a really hard cake in the shank, you may need one.
