Before and after, Dunhill ‘76 root lovat restore job

[Ben.R.C]

Mkelaw-pipes did such an awesome job on this! Mind, he did this for me because I’ve already bought several pipes from him. I’m super happy with the improvement! Highly recommend his estates, I think I’ve got 4 of them now and they are arrived in great shape with affordable prices.

He did a beautiful job!

Note: this pipe was not bought from Mikelaw-pipes, none from him have needed any kind of work.

Beveling is a neat trick to use instead of topping.

It looks cool also I think.

I was about to say the same thing. On this shape I think I like it better than the factory rim

It’s a nice solution to a heavily worn rim, but, offensive to the purist in me.

I’m gonna save up for a savinelli fan just to bevel the shit out of the top now

@Ben.R.C is the rest of the rim flat? Or does it bevel downwards to the bowl’s sides too? (Like a Peterson b10 for example)
