Excellent!! I am very glad to hear you enjoy it!! Spread the word; after Chicago, there should be more pipes available! 8)

Thanks again, Mike. So glad you like it! I hope she turns out to be one of your favorites. Smoke her up. I can't wait for the review!

YES! ;) I will be making most now with .750 chambers. I am going to reserve the 1.00 for the really big pipes.

Thanks, Nick. I can. As I am just getting started; I probably will grade too harsh to make sure my pipes are the bargain I want them to be and of the highest quality I can muster. Might not see many higher than 2 Star or 2 Palm for a while; but you never know. I will be grading on a scale...

I just put the finishing touches on my new pipe tonight. I'm excited about this one. It's my 1st time using this new rustication method. I tried it out on some scrap, but my nerves were kicking in high gear when I hit it on the real deal. I think it turned out great! Let me know what you think...

Thanks again! Don't know when the retail thing is going to happen. I have a website almost finished, but i'm not quite ready yet. I need to get my new lathe set up and some real time practice in with that. I also need to have a few more pipes done and ready to go. The main thing I feel I...

Did a little re-work on this one after a little advise from a couple master carvers. Also someone was very interesting in picking this one up; so I had to make sure it was really good enough to let go of. Here she is now:

Very nice Stannie. Excellent restoration, too!

Thank you again for the comments, guys. I am so happy with how this one turned out so much like I originally intended. I'm having a great time with this; and look forward to being able to bring many more out in the future.

Very nice pipe, indeed.
