Falcon Restored

[riff raff]

Last month, I found this beat up Falcon at a Virginia junk shop. I restored it last weekend and detailed the work on the Reborn Pipes blog. I used a two stage stain process to hide the fills and think it came out rather nice.  It now resides in member Blackhorse' metal collection.

Here is a couple of before & after shots.

Pretty amazing transformation!

Nice job Al. Pretty hard to cover up fills, I can think of some pipes that need your attention to detail from the early days of pipe making.
