What do you think of this one, guys?
I made this pipe with a lot of help of Love and Sara Geiger. I spend five days over at their place in Sweden to finetune my pipemaking. Had a great time!

Ok, a couple of things:

1) I am so jealous of you for getting to spend 5 days with the Geigers. I can't even tell you how jealous I am.

2) Your pipe is really nice. Well done! I like that you guys engraved it with all of your initials....very fun!

3) Did I mention how jealous I am that you spent 5 days with the Geigers?

Beautiful! How big is it? Looks like you could break someone's jaw with it, if the need were to arise.

It's not a big pipe, Alan. 5.3 inches long, 2.3 inches high, bowl width 1.9 x 2.3 inches (at the top), the tobacco chamber is 0.7 inches wide and 1.5 inches deep.

Thanks, Android. The shape is similar but not quite the same as the Geiger's Fat Dubliner. Credit to them.

Very Beautiful pipe! I really like the Insert. If you don't mind me asking. Did you sand the taper on the insert by hand or did you turn the taper on the lathe?

Once again very nice pipe. The birdseye is also amazing.

Thanks for the compliment, Chris.
The extension is on the stem side and was shaped with the sanding disc and by hand sanding.

Beautiful work.

I guess one would be able to smoke tobacco in it too?

Thanks, Olivier.

You bet you can smoke it. I did so about a dozen times since we made it. Performs great indeed.

was that stem insert black and white ebony or zebrawood? I was thinking of using something similar.
