Outsourcing pipe restoration?

mmm, some great options there. All told I've got about 50 pipes to restore. The nicer looking ones that I really want to smoke will get sent out to precision or lewis probably, once I save up the funds to pay for it

.
Might send a dozen or so mid quality ones out to norwood for a cheaper cleanup....
And I'll take the remaining 30+, order some walker briar works stem polish, and work on em myself a bit at a time.

exactly what needs to be done rich is here in town and he is great
our shop uses someone else for difficult stuff for ream and cleans we do it ourselves but the shop in st paul has a guy who is great at deoxidations and restoration. and I think its like five bucks a pipe. like I said though we have other people make our stems for now.
