I know it's been a while...things have been pretty crazy here the past few years! I hope to find more time to stop by and participate in the future. I'll find some good pics of the kiddos (6, 4.5 and 3 now) to share. And I will throw up some of my latest work in the DIY and Trading Post...

I thought I would share this commission that I just finished.  The stem in Carnelian Juma (a thermoset plastic that is used for pool cues.  My favorite part about Juma is that it doesn't oxidize, but is soft on the teeth like Ebonite.) Length: 6.93" Height: 1.79" Width: 1.35" Chamber: .75 x...

I was just at my B&M picking something up for Heath and ran across these.  Do any of you have one?  What do you think?  I'm curious if the rocks actually do anything or is this just a gimmick? Keystone Pipes

My husband and I saw this again on Tuesday. While the cast was better when we saw it two years ago it's still worth getting tickets for. Not nearly as blasphemous as you would think it has a pretty good story amist all the singing and dancing. The Ensemble cast is great and boy can those...

One of the problems we have every year is funding the carving contest. We have used a raffle to pay the winning seven carvers and to award the 7-Day Set to the winning ticket holder. ALL the money raised in the raffle is divided equally between the seven carvers. Selling $25 raffle tickets is a...

A friend of my husband's sent a bit of Jack Knife Plug for us to try. As I am not a plug smoker I wasn't sure of the best way to cut it....what say you?

I had a chance to talk to Mike McNeil at the Greater Kansas City Pipe Club meeting last night. I asked him about the tin note that his Va blends have since it is discussed here quite a bit. Mike gave me some answers I thought I would share. The Red Va that Mike gets is grown to have a much...

Over the past few months I have gotten into other types of wood turning.  I have made more than a handful of bowls and one vase.  I have made a few peppermills (although I keep forgetting to take pictures of them).  Here are some pictures of the last bowl I finished, the ash tray that is almost...

First, let me apoligize for my lack of participation lately.  Things have been a little wild and crazy here this summer.   I was wondering if there was any interest in a POTY this year.  I have a new line of pipes I think might be perfect and I can get the price point (with at least 50 sold)...

My husband is a member over there and it has been down for 3 days now. Anyone know what's going on over there?

So I got a suspicious package in the mail today.  I couldn't figure out who I knew in Clermont, FL that would be sending me something.  I ripped into the brown paper to find a note from a pipe I made a while back that went to live "across the pond" (Hi Doris  :D  ).  Although she didn't make the...

When: June 21-22, 2014 Where: Argosy Hotel & Casino Riverside, MO If you are coming I hope you already booked your room.  There are rumors going around that the Argosy has sold all of the GKCPC rooms.  I'm sure you can still get in on the show price if you ask to speak to a manager.  Keep in...
