Re: Pipe refinishing
Fitted a stem for a Sam's Town 343. Didn't bother with documenting, but it's another pipe that's now ready for someone's rotation...

Re: Pipe refinishing
Meanwhile I worked on the stem and step sanded it to a polished shine.
Then finished the stummel.

Re: Other Hobbies
I bought another used, vintage, white gas camp stove. I just had to straighten the tin slightly, otherwise, it fired up first try with no issues. I made me a cup of cowboy coffee, this little percolator does not have any “gut’s” or a lid. I parted it out for another, nicer one that was missing some parts.
The stove is an Optimus 80, probably from around the 70’s, although it might be older?

I have some “Five Brothers” smoldering in a Pete Deluxe 53 and some black java to pair.

Finally some relief from the oppressive, tropical humidity. It's a beautiful morning in southern New England. Orlik Golden Sliced in my Savinelli Canadian.

Alcohol bath, waxed and buffed.
The overly long extension gives it a different look from most pipes. Not sure if I like it, but it's definitely unique. I think it falls into that, "love it or hate it" category. Here's the final:

Re: Pipe refinishing
Lightly sanded the rusticated area, then stained the entire stummel 20 drops tan, 4 drops oxblood...
Bonus: you get the pics that includes the latest long-stemmed pipe (same stain used for both)...
