[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 521517, member: 509"] Here's another "good" pipe - nice shape, nice even crisp coloration, even though not spectacular sandblast. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/hqdPQRg.jpg[/IMG] and here's the high grade version, where you say "holy shit" [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/lvhpfOX.jpg[/IMG] Now I'm using very plain examples, partly cuz I don't carve reverse-speared blowfish (go look at Abe Herbaugh's work), and partly because such pipes are actually easier to judge and talk about and point out things that are maybe not quite right. A blowfish or a horn or something, you have to know a LOT about carving to critique these. [/QUOTE]
