I'm into E-bay!

Just in time for the weekend, My Peterson arrived. Man, it was pretty! It had a few knock-offs in the rim though and some oxidation left on the P-lip. I decided to clean it up a bit and color those bare wood spots with black dye.

I doused a cleaner with pipe sweetener and showed it all the way throgh the stem and let it lie for a half hour, then repeated with new doused and dry cleaners til they came out white(ish).

Took some cleaning paste and went to work on the button of the P-lip and the stem. Wiped it off and smeared with a drop of olive oil and let that rest for a few hours.

Wiped the entire pipe off with a clean cloth and lo and behold... it was a beauty!
