I just finished up this little Belge I picked up on my anniversary trip. It is stamped Astor and according to Who Made That Pipe it was made by Comoy's. It is a great looking little pipe with some nice grain on it. The left side had many fills on it and so did the front. The right side had great birdseye and the front and back some nice crossgrain. I picked out the fills and mixed some briar dust and superglue to patch them and then sanded them to match the surface. I gave the pipe an understain of black and then and overstain of oxblood. Have a look.
