Vauen Luxus 6570 [restored, new mouthpiece]

I bought this Vauen as an estate, the mouthpiece wasn't so oxidized as in the below photo but you can get an idea how it was:

After some sandpaper work and Oil to create a simple contrast plus a mouthpiece change now looks much better, don't you agree?

@rainmax: Here i am my friend, vacations are over, i can't post photos of pipe smoking of those days because the thread is locked.

Ferretti Astoria, i decide to rusticate that pipe and add a ring in the mouthpiece.

Below is the result, i have done some mistakes in paint work, in future project like this i hope i will manage to do things better.

It looks different from any other pipe I've ever soon, though I haven't seen a lot. I like the effect as if the paint is still wet. Quite nice altogether

I bought this Ferretti but when the pipe arrived i saw that the connection between shank and tenon wasn't right. Both were not properly aligned so i work a little bit on that plus the colour tone. Here is the result.

Very fancy pipe. Are you snow-covered in Athens? Bob
Thank you sir! Yes we had some snow but nothing serious in the centre of Athens. Here are 3 links to see, it started at night and ended next morning. Nevertheless i couldn't stay out in the porch and work for pipe repairs-modifications because the temperature was low.

In the areas around centre of Athens yes they had a lot of snow and the relative problems.

Tenon change [No lathe....] I wanted to chance the tenon in one of my mouthpiece. I have no lathe so i had to do the work with simple tools, can you imagine how much effort takes to do this? You can see the procedure here: http://pipe-smoke.blogspot.gr/2010/02/7.html The pipe is in M7-2
