[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 317362, member: 1969"] Agreed, this has been a question I've pondered a lot--great answers. It's luck of the draw with the way the burl grew, and how it was cut up, then shaped. This is why my jaw will never cease to drop when a real master (or talented young upstart) manages to truly carve away anything that didn't make the pipe world-class. Not to mention, the respect of frustration that comes about when everything goes right with a pipe mid-carve, until something rears its ugly head--a huge gash, a crack, or something else that means hours of work get chucked into the fireplace or thrown against a wall. Which happens probably more often than a stunning example of pipehood that gets completed. :lol: [/QUOTE]
