I am inclined to agree with this, although I am open minded enough to accept another definition, given a logical and convincing argument.DocAitch wrote: To repeat, an ellipse (a mathematically define geometric shape) is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse. I think most of us think of an oval as a symmetric flattened circle a la a Canadian or lumberman.
Correct me if I am mistaken, Smurf.

Unfortunately, I am going to have to bail out this year. I've been totally tied up refurbishing my house and I need to stay after it as much as possible.
Perhaps next time around.

Re: PITH 2017!!!!!!!
It's coming along. I've got it down to finishing and stem work. Perhaps foolishly I decided to make this pipe also my first attempt at a Military Mount Stem, which has proven more complicated than I anticipated (shocker), but I think I can still make it work.
If I can pull it off its going to be quite a pretty pipe, the grain came out really nice so far.
How's the move coming, smurf?

Re: PITH 2017!!!!!!!
Well the house is sold and tomorrow is my last day up here in MI. Heading down to Louisville next week to house hunt, then taking a month of much needed time off before I report in down there in July. I haven't had any shop time in almost 2 months, so I'm itching to cut some briar again.PeskyPrussian wrote:

Re: PITH 2017!!!!!!!
Take your time and make one the best you can. This is a good exercise for the experienced to guide and the novice to learn while in the process of making. I'm not so sure of providing a pipe that was already made. I would like to see participation regardless of skill level.themanredbeard wrote:I'm in if it's still open.
