Canadian Pipe restoration


The rim came up a treat.

This pipe is huge you could use it to paddle a cedar-strip canoe across Canada.
Loaded it up with my special turning blend.
I take a little tobacco down to my machine shop each day and add it to the tin.
Smoked cool and smooth and  forever.
Won't need any more nicotine this morning.
I don't think this pipe has been smoked much not a lot of cake.
Reamed down to the timber easily.
Used  pure alcohol and pipe cleaners to clean inside.
Not a lot of gunk came out nice and clean.
I really like this pipe if the bowl was half size it would be perfect for me.
Last but not least.
I would like to thank the ever generous Hobo Hoot for gifting me this beautiful pipe.

  1. Damn dude, looks a million times better. there is something about the Canadian shape that pushes my buttons. Plus, after having made a number of pipe now you know 1) how big a block of briar that sucker must have come from, and 2) how lucky it was to have so few inclusions.
