rad,

i dont need to tell you how nice that pipe is, but yeah thats a nice off white colour, the wood i saw yesterday was mix between that colour and holly with some yellow spots.

great knives man!
you are talented.
if your not selling pipes would you sell knives (if you said you not selling them i must have missed it)
i love that knife for yourself with the buffalo and the horn handle.
how much for a similar knife, say about 5 inches blade folded???
love to get one of those.

Holly is a little more difficult to work with. Although you can't really see it, it has a loose grain structure and is pretty soft and porous. I use a lot of super glue on it. Rad[/quote] rad, took it out the box i use to carry it from the store to my house along with the rest of the wood i bought. ...

ahhh you guys no whats good. lol just throwing it out there for people that buy at PME. if you have to order some stuff might as well just get a few bottles. i like the dye powder myself.

All the raw boxwood I've ever handled was bright white (all 2 pieces). Maybe .... geez Rad, are you sure you didn't get a load of pine instead?? :lol: thanks for the advice gents. i think ill do an ebonite spacer to try and prevent the bleeding. is it a must that it is stabalized. ive only ever sta...

if your in the market for a lifelong lighter get the im corona or a zippo with thunderbird butane insert. i get the bic lighters because i constantly am loosing tampers and lighters. and id be SOL if i lost a $120 lighter. just my thoughts and what works for me. Thanks for that, I hadn't heard of i...

hey there and welcome, from a newbie to newbie. i think that 7mm is a little large of an airway for the north american market, since most people dont put filters in. and as andrew said brass is soft and could possibly bend more than stainless. there is no health problem, just personal choice on whet...

where can I get boxwood and other exotic woods? I'd rather ask before I buy something that is too young or not dry enough for this purpose theres a few places, online there is obviously ebay, make sure you ask the seller if its stabilized or air dried. it says you live in texas so i couldnt give yo...

sorry rad, no insult was intended or am i in anyway putting down pipes with boxwood accents, i just thought it seemed odd that such a plain jane accent was used on such pipes with stricking grain, but the reasons make sense, not to mention the accent grain may contrast with that off the briar. i thi...

so ive been making pipes for a while now and i see it is the culturally excepted thing to do generally the same old song and dance when it comes to shank accents or ferrules. ivory, bamboo, ebonite, acrylic and BOXWOOD. out of all of the gorgeous woods on the earth, why are we using boxwood. is it r...

some steller aged danish flake (house blend) in my former eltang horn (2012)

not that im one for promoting, but i thought it would be great for everyone to get a chance to save some money. now at PME in feb. all fiebings dyes are $1.00 off the standard 4oz containers also $10.00 off all large, XL and XXL tuscan plateaux. great deals, cant pass it up! i just bought 10 new sta...

I think a couple rings are in order on the first one. Seems like the stem is a bit short, and rings would help lengthen it a bit. Also the bowl is a little chunky. The shank seems to widen out as it heads toward the stem, It would look better if it were the same width all the way down. I like the b...

hey charl,

thats a beautiful stain and you finished the block up nice. the button looks good. the only thing id like to add is i think the proportions are off. it looks to thick through the shank and at a weird bend. its like a fat zulu. anyway stem works looks good.
nice pipe!

if your in the market for a lifelong lighter get the im corona or a zippo with thunderbird butane insert. i get the bic lighters because i constantly am loosing tampers and lighters. and id be SOL if i lost a $120 lighter. just my thoughts and what works for me.

i stand corrected, i checked their site after i read your post steve. i guess i skipped right over it. i woulda got some if i wasnt blind as a bat.

hey bruno, im new to the forum but stumbled upon your pipe. looks good! im not a fan of the little pit on the rim but hey briar is a mysterious creature. and i think the rustication to smooth transition on the shank needs to be a little cleaner. i like it though, definitly my style. FWIW cheers evan

i recieved some a couple weeks ago. 6 meters and it looks great. i got the unpolished stuff but like previously stated it is tad soft. it shines up nice though. you cant beat the price. only issue is that they offer no cumberland or colour swirls.

i actually dig the F grade pipe alot and it seems that it would be so organic that it looks purposeful. its like a beautiful natural rustication. im sure not alot of collector would like it so i definitly wouldnot try and sell it. but FWIW i like it good job on that rhodesian and dublin. im not a fa...
