Uh Oh, now it starts. Slowly at first but may pick up speed in time. Stock up everyone.

Welcome to BoB.

I've often wondered if anyone had ever sandblasted a cob. I like it. Looks good.

I agree. It surely does. And I like to do both at the same time. Do you use a particular mechanical system or do it all by hand? I started using the Wicked Edge System and a 400x microscope to see the edge. It has opened up a whole different world of sharpening for me.

Trying to grow a beard to fit in. I gave up. But the scowl is coming along nicely.

Great birdseye grain in that pipe. How was the fishing?

I wish there were more photos. Are the measurements of the bowl backwards? "The pipe measures ... and 3/4" high with the bowl measuring 1 7/8" across."

I've never seen beveled holes in a stem before. Is it just an esthetic thing?

Interesting. Maybe it has too much propylene glycol in that particular blend. But cigars have it too, and they don't do that to you. I've felt a little ill, a couple of times, while smoking a pipe. I assumed it was indigestion but I'll pay more attention if it happen to me again.

Welcome from San Diego

George, Glad to read that you are not demised (I think that's the past tense of demise). There are many new members, like me, who are looking forward to getting to know you and reading your posts. Joyal

Outstanding restoration, Coastie. You've done it again.

Welcome, Mike. You came to the right place. The best of the best pipers are here. A friendly helpful bunch.

Thanks for the reminder to practice more with my weak hand. I can shave, brush my teeth, and use a fork, with my weak hand. But I need to practice typing with it only. You never know when it might come in handy to be as ambidextrous as you can.

Glad you like it. Enjoy
