Another very different approach to cavaliers than most, and a very nice one at it!

Sand pits, broken shanks, wallered holes, yee ha!

As I stated previously I am working on a two piece (three if count removable stem). Looking good to get it done by the 4th as long as I am not called in for overtime.

Is that lathe a Rikon?

Looking slim as to my pipe being completed. I destroyed a shank and do not have a block big enough for a single piece cavalier. Trying to get a 2 piece done in time.... At least I have learned some things in the process.

The shank is uniform in diameter. I sanded and sanded to remove a deep scratch by the top shank/bowl junction whi...

Limited time allows for a few number of pipes...But here is number 7.
