[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 211246, member: 1969"] Nice work, Martin. Two things...one is for Mister E's observation--that stem and drilling looks like one of Tinsky's "straight" kits, so I'm not sure if putting a bend is appropriate for this one. I think it looks okay as-is. The other, for Martin: Be careful with those artful trenches you put in the briar...it looks like it worked somewhat okay for this one, but from my own experimentation with them, the randomness and stiff angle of such marks can break up the otherwise lovely flow of a pipe. Really, a criticism of future forewarn more than anything--going full-bore thinking one is Grinling Gibbons is easy to do and can be great fun, but yields less-than-stellar results. Let the wood speak for itself before you try and help it along. I hope it smokes well--be proud of it! 8) [/QUOTE]
