I didn't want to change their appearance too much. Mainly clean up the stems, remove any tar buildup, remove the shellac, sanitize, and repolish.
This oom paul need some serious stem work. I don't think the stem that came with the pipe is what fits it. The fit is loose and it isn't shaped to match. But it does have the right bend. I got lots of crud off and the finish off the pipe with some acetone. Almost got the name written on it off lol.
There are some dents in the side of the pipe. Not sure if the pipe was dropped or if it was that way from the start. They were poorly filled. I am thinking about trying to do a partial rustication on it to somewhat hide the bad spots. I think it would look pretty neat. Got lots of work to do on this one for sure.
