Awesome.


Funny, I feel cold just looking at that picture.

Glad I don't have to worry about that over here. LOL



Jaden

Wow, Awesome board Jeff. yeah you see that style mostly on the west coast. What's the size and where did you get the blank. I know that the company in Cali that most of the shapers got their blanks from close shop awhile back. It was big news over here, that's why surfboards in Hawaii were very high...

Just the thing to get me back in to this form.

Kirk, you count me in also.


Jaden

Damn that's a cool looking pipe kurt.

Jaden

Yup, I have to agree with Jeff and the others in that it's just part of being a pipemaker and you will come across bad blocks. I can't count how many times I had a block that started out looking great and then all of a sudden ended up in the trash because of flaws in the wood. There were time when I...

It depends on the type of Koa. I know that one type, can make your arms itchy from the saw dust. I talk to this Ukalelei maker once and he said that the dust and resin from the koa are toxic. You do see Koa bowls, but people usually don't eat out of these bowls. The Kanaka Maolie (Hawaiians) used Ko...

Jaden

Dave,

I still crank out a few pipes, just not as much as I was making when I was doing it full-time.


Oh and Ben, these pipes were made way before the KC show. The rusticated one was a Board pipe, that I made for an internet pipe group back in 2003 or 2004.



Jaden

In the last picture, what do you use that lace for in the background?? Laughing LOL I was at my relatives house for some type of family function and took the two pipes out to show everyone. Someone mention that i should take some pictures, so I took a couple of quick ones and didn't even notice the...

Aloha Fellas here are some pipes that I've made in the past [img][img]http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg136/hlp808/S4200018.jpg[/img][/img] [img][img]http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg136/hlp808/S4200017.jpg[/img][/img] [img][img]http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg136/hlp808/S4200019.jpg[/im...

Hey Ben,


Just move to Hawaii . That way you don't have to worry about the cold.




Jaden

I wish I could tell you if the cold effects your shop, but the coldest it ever gets over here is 65 degrees.



Jaden

Man, That's a cool gift.

Congrats Kirk, A well deserved gift indeed.
