    Another new pipe ...

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

    Another new pipe ...

    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...

    Another new pipe ...

    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...

    New pipe - Volcano 2

    OK, folks. Got her all done today. I just love this one. Turned out nearly perfect. It has a couple very tiny spots that just would not sand out, but they are not distracting and blend in well with the grain. The grain really sets this one apart; and that birsdeye .... just gorgeous. I...

    Sad News

    Sad news. Had a little correspondence with him on a few of his earlier pipes. Was a very nice gentleman. He will surely be missed.

    Took A Shot!

    That does sound pretty fishy. Sorry to hear that. But you're right; better to be safe now rather than sorry later.

    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...

    Finished my latest - Poker A

    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:

    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.

    Added a new pipe today -

    Just finished my latest pipe this afternoon. Inspired by some of my favorite carvers; this Volcano has beautiful swooping lines and a wonderful feel in the hand. There is a fantastic mix of straight and flame grain all around; with stand out birdseye on the bottom. A hand shaped stem of an...

    Anybody Else Have A Bad Cold/Flu?

    Going on day 3 here. Both myself and my wife have it at the same time. Am able to get up and move around a bit more today, but only for a bit. Everything hurts. Feel like I did when I was in a head-on collision. Hoping it's not true; but from what I'm hearing; we're in for a week of feeling...

    Thanks. The Corian was nice to work with and should hold up really well. I got the idea from Rob Perkins. He had used it on one of his pipes, and I just had to try it out!

    Finished my latest - Poker A

    Thanks everybody! I love this one, too. Kind of funny; but I keep looking at it with surprise that I actually made it. I still have some detailing techniques that need time and experience to get them just perfect. The extension looks like it's not quite flush with the shank, but somehow the...
