Some of my pipes

[Thomas Tkach]

Here are a few pipes I've restored. Unfortunately I don't have before pics.

This one gets along with Gordon Pym well (Bari Opal that I restained):


I use this one for Provost Mixture (Tinderbox St. Ives, restained):


As well as this one (old Killarney from my Uncle):


Here's one that gets burleys (a Comoy's that needs to have my sanding scratches taken out):


Here are some others I've gifted:

Used to be a Kaywoodie whitebriar:

Nice job on the pipes. They look like they've been restored to their original finishes.

Just checked out your bow ties too, very cool! Nice stuff!

Here are a few pipes I've restored....

First reaction: Really nice job on all those restorations.

Second reaction: Holy cow! That stick man has half his body in the pipe! Must be doing a pipe inspection.

Thanks, guys.

The Killarney was a gift from my uncle--he used to smoke it back in the day. It was pretty much a standard refurb. The others were restained and even re-textured--the tan rustic was a Kaywoodie whitebriar, as noted. The bottom one I even reshaped and re-rusticated--it was an ugly carved rustication that was poorly shaped.
