Re: Horn #2

One of my favorite shapes. Needless to say I like this pipe a great deal. With that said I also think a contrast stain would make it "POP". Can't wait to see your next Horn.

I have a P100 (hepa) respirator when I work on pipes and such. Already had a severe case of Pneumonia in June. I ...

As usual a very nice pipe s-22. One day when I grow up I will acquire one of your beauties. I usually tend toward bulky/heavier pipes but your styles appeal to me.

Re: Do the prices of other pipe makers bother you?

I would not pay a high price for a pipe made by an inexperienced pipe maker or one with a limited number of pieces under their belts. I made custom fishing rods and my prices started out low and they went up as my skills and demand increased. I knew when I was where I wanted to be when folks chased ...
