    My Latest, A Harcourt & a few Willmer AA, and AAA

    Yes; It is original. As far as I know. I bought it from a reputable fellow, I've known for years. He was thinning out his collection. He's more of a Lumberman, Canadian shape Collector, and he was selling off his freehands. He decided he only needed to keep one or two of each particular shop /...

    My Latest, A Harcourt & a few Willmer AA, and AAA

    Here's some of the Auction photos of my latest acquisitions. The Harcourt has got to be one of the prettiest pipes I've ever owned. I absolutely love the golden yellow lucite gutter style stem. It is much prettier in person. Also the Willmers are to die for. I gave 100$ Total for the Willmers...

    Dunhill OR Sommer VERCINGETORIX? Which do you think?

    I do not like Figurals very much, but I must say that is a handsome piece of work. Very nice find.

    New Churchwarden

    That is a really nice looking pipe, and the craftsmanship is spot on the money. The colors are nice, and work well together. The stummel / shank transition looks nice and flows well. I am normally not one for any type of white stemwork, but what you have going on there works really well. White...

    The cellar

    You should add some Makers Mark, Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve Bourbons to that Collection.

    Newbie attempt

    MAN! Your work is really improving. I would love to own that last pipe. Very nice work. Nice rustication, and the stemwork is nice, and the banding is spot on.

    RIP Doc Watson

    Damn, I heard on the radio that he had a fall, and was sick. I hate to hear that. Old Doc and His son were flat picking wonders. I have a lot of their music in my mp3 folders.

    Donald "Duck" Dunn The Pipe Smoking Bassist Passed Away

    I think because he played with so many different people, that was part of his mojo. He was so versatile a musician, and not only did he lay down the bass line for the music, he contributed his own personal flair. A good Bass Man lay down a foundation for the rest of the band to sync to, along...

    Where else can you do this?

    Damn, Brewdude... I would have never left the place. It's sounds nicer than my house. :P

    Donald "Duck" Dunn The Pipe Smoking Bassist Passed Away

    Yeah, especially since they were part of the backbone of Stax's session band. They have probably performed on more records than you can shake a stick at. They truly were Rock & Roll.

    Pipe #3

    I love the shape, proportions, and the blonde color is Fabulous! That is a quality piece of work there, for sure. I must say for your third pipe, it is a masterful piece of work. You are sure to be a contender quickly. I tip my hat to you Sir.
