Hey guys,

This one is a commission, so it is also not for sale. I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out so I wanted to share.

Absolutely fantastic work Buddy, how on earth did you get the birdseye top so shiny, doesn't matter how hard I try I can never get a bowl to shine like that, stunning pipe, one very proud owner that'll be going to, bravo. :cheers:

The BIG question to ask is : HOW DID YOU DO THE CRATERS? I'm AMAZED at what you've done :twisted: DAMN!!!:cheers: 

 

[Bobostro61]

HOLY F-ING COW!!! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! AWESOME JOB!

I too want to know how you did the craters. That's really cool. Please, do tell!

Once again, thoroughly impressed by your work. Thanks for sharing.

Whoa! This is way too cool. Man I like that. How in the world did you accomplish it? One of the most unique finishes I've ever seen on a pipe. :cheers: :bounce: :cheers:

One beautiful pipe sir, it looks like you actually boiled the surface of the briar to make it bubble...................or shot it across the room with a .22. No really, beautiful pipe and some fine work to say the least.

 

[pepesdad1]

Great looking pipe!  love the rim.

 

[Tate]

It isn't often these days that I see something truly novel, but here you have it, something completely unique in my experience. Excellently executed. Good work!

 

[glpease]

David, that's extraterrestrially cool. Amazing work.

 

[Fatman]

That pipe is stunning, I can't imagine what it took to make it!

 

[Dutch]

David, that is certainly a very cool concept, and I agree with the other brothers that the moon surface carving is very unique. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: 

Only thing I would have changed, is that I would have stained the briar a silver or grey, and given it a black stem.

Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Dutch, to understand the color palate it might help to know that this pipe's code-name is Io.

Thanks for the education David! In that case, she is the ideal color! 8)

The color and name match my finances. In the red and Io. :x 

You gonna reveal a trade secret and tell us how you did it? Inquiring minds want to know. :fpalm:

Just a dremel, a lot of time, and plenty of patience.

David! Shame on you! No lying! Everyone knows that you actually launch a piece of briar into orbit and subject the stummel to hundreds of tiny micro-comets. Huummph! Dremel indeed!

I'm so intrigued by the finish. I keep coming back to this thread and admiring it. It's great to see a new twist on an old concept (Rustication). New and original is hard to come by these days. Can't say enough about it and how impressed I am. It's hard to imagine the time it took to accomplish that work of art. Thanks for sharing the fruits of your labor with us.

That's quite a compliment and I am honored by it. Thanks a lot, AJ.

That's freakin' absurd, Dave, I LOVE IT.

If a pipe can be classy AND planetary, the sci-fi nerds (like me) are gonna jaw-drop and require more of this!!!!!!!!!
