Restored Basket Pipe
September 2003
This is an old ratty no-name basket pipe which I use to practice
various pipe restoration techniques. It has been dropped, burnt,
kicked out of a spinning buffing wheel many times, and generally
abused.
Over time, this pipe has actually become a good smoker since I have
completely reamed it out, done a salt/alcohol soak, sanded the smoke
hole, polished the stem, polished the briar, restained the briar, and
waxed the living daylights out of it.
If you think it looks bad now, you should have seen it when I started
