Do any of you have a go-to guy for pipe restoration?

I don't mind tinkering around with stems and finish touch ups, but I have a pipe with sentimental value that needs surgery.

Mike Myers (Walker Pipe Repair), Mark Tinsky, Tim West to name a few.

George is excellent but difficult to engage . . . "Pipe Repairman to the Stars".

Floyd Norwood, he does great great work, easy to deal with, fast turn around and very affordable, I've delt with George and I like him, he's a nice fella but he mainly deals with very high end pipes and is very expensive.

I had a couple of old pipes restored by Anthony Cook at Cook's Fine Pipe Works. He was recommended to me by George Dibos after I sent pictures of the pipes to George. I figured that was pretty high praise and George wasn't wrong. A '49 Dunhill Shell LB and a Sasieni Four-Dot Natural Regent came back looking brand new. They smoke that way as well. I would not hesitate to send Anthony more of my pipes.
