Pipe restoration
I found a couple of places from an internet search but was wondering if anyone had a specific recommendation

No way would I be able to do this myself, just don't have the finesse or patience.
Here is a before and preliminary after of a poor condition estate pipe I picked up on eBay. Fortunately I met a great brother on another forum that does restorations for cheap. I thought that maybe I was taking advantage of him, which is why I started this thread, but he assured me I wasn't and he enjoyed doing it. More to come when I get it back.

Yeah, this guy is awesome. There were deep teeth impressions and the button was completely worn in a couple of spots.
