[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 42049, member: 14"] I agree with Rad, the quickness doesn't mean a lack of care. You don't see the years of experience, you don't see the mental images of thousands of pipes in the carver's brain, not to mention that he actually made the pipe and remembers it. It's his area of expertise. We all have such areas, where we can make a determination in a fraction of the time it takes someone not familiar with the subject. A mechanic can know what's wrong with a car in seconds, a doctor can make a diagnosis, an art expert can identify a painting. As for grading being done at the show, it makes sense. He did it there because he could, whereas actually making the pipes required his equipment at home. Jack [/QUOTE]
