Have been having fun cleaning up the pipes my folks sent me for Christmas.
First pipe I have ever cleaned was this Kaywoodie #14 flame grain. Not sure on year, if there is a way to tell that would be awesome. I see some from the 40s. No before photos.
Then I went to town on a Monterey Italian briar. It had a pretty pitted steam.
After soaking it in oxieclean for a few hours, it cleaned up nicely.
I don't have a reamer yet but the cake in the bowls wasn't bad, I just scraped it lightly with my tamper tool. I also used vodka for internal cleaning. Going to get a reamer and some more cleaning supplies as this was fun getting these ready to smoke out of.
