You hand carved the stem too? Nicely done my friend, that's impressive.
Did you do this one recently?
The stem is from a cylinder blank, the bit is pre-formed but the rest of the stem is one long fat piece of Acrylic, absolute nightmare getting the shape right but oddly fun all at the same time.
This pipe was finished yesterday.

Kirk, that is your best pipe yet! Love the stem work buddy. Don't know how you do it, I can't even draw a line around a pipe stem and have them meet up! The grain is just fabulous too. Someone is going to really love this pipe!

Very kind of you Jim, you should give making pipes a try yourself Buddy, it is not the easiest of things to do by any means but it can be a very spiritual process, if you get a pre-drilled kit literally all you'll need is files and sandpaper for shaping, that is all I use.

That is a magnificent pipe...it has stature and beauty together...love the stem work. You've done it again...someone is gonna get some magic when they get that pipe.
So very kind of you Walt, oh it certainly has presence, that's for sure, it's going to take quite a strong willed person to tame this Lady, she has some real fire in her energies.
