Senior Reamer, kosher coarse salt, eyedropper, Everclear, 20-30 pipe cleaners, MicroMesh wet sanding (the bit, not the briar!) from 2500 to 12,000 fine, spit/oilsoap/electric toothbrush/lots of paper towels/Halcyon for wood, steam the dents, stain the nicks, olive oil finish on the stem. 60-120 minutes per pipe. You have to WANT to do this - go slow - practice first on a PAS - or pass it to a pro who won't ruin stuff by not sweating the details.
