Question for a Friend: Broken Meerschaum Shank

[TreeFrog Frank]

I was wanting to find out about repairs to a meerschaum pipe. My friend has an old pipe that is broken at the shank. Is there a way to repair this, themselves? Or does something need replaced?

And if there needs to be a replacement of the stem, where do you recommend buying parts, or having repairs made, at a decent price?

Depending on what is broken and where, you can get repair parts (tenons) for Meerschaums at PipeMakersEmporium.com. I'm not sure who repairs meerschaums. If it is just needing a new stem made I would talk to LatakiaLover and check out his business as I've heard nothing but good things about his work.
