My personal theory is that the father is very good, and the son just slaps on a cast stem and buffs off the casting marks. I am picky with buttons. They don't have to be the same or anything, but the unfinished ones never sit correctly in my teeth. I can explain all this and say I am willing to pay extra for the time to finish the button. The father does it. The son charges me for it and doesn't touch the button.

Just my experience... I WILL say they are always quick on the turnaround. This is consistently good.

I always call Floyd and request that he does the work. I've heard the same about his son.

Own several Boswell estates, but decided to buy a new one to commemorate 2020.

It is an unusual design for J.M. Boswell. He has been making pipes for 40+ years and pushes out new ones on his website every Monday at 8:00 P.M. EST. They go very, very fast. ✔

Coupla finds from some treasure hunting yesterday. Comoy's sandblast and a dandy custombilt. Should clean up a treat.
