This is my first and second sandblast pipe, the black one is the first one, I need to make it black because the woodblock are not the best I have see. The second one the wood is must better, and I decide to make it light brown.
I hope someone have criticism on those two pipe, and I will appreciate all.
Hi Genosse Carsten,here is my sharp criticism;that is beautiful work!
This horn has a great S shaped flow beautifully and precisely integrated into the rustic finish , breathtaking!If you find flaws on this one,means it is the time of the year to visit your local ophthalmologist.
Great looking pipe, and very nice photo composition, also. I was just looking at some Poul Ilsted hexagonal horns at a German dealer, priced 3500.-€ to 18000.-€ and I think I like your pipe better.
Only one criticism, and this applies to every sandblasted pipe I have ever seen. I don't like the unblasted area on the bottom where the pipe is stamped, but how else can you do that?
Great work.
M.M.
Carsten, I like the horn a lot. The shape is quite interesting and it flows nicely. I think the stem on the billiard is probably a bit too long, but I generally don't prefer long stems, so take that as you will.
Thank you. - I appreciated all criticisms and comment, your comment motivate me a lot, and give me energy to work more. Sometime I dream me back to Denmark with all the pipemaker, in Thailand there are no pipemaker, and very few pipesmoker.
Abi I will think about to visit a ophthalmologist, my little daughter three and half year often tell when I throw a pipe in the trash can, - dad you should go and check your eye!! Maybe you know but the Thai flower have the most beautiful smell, like a parfume.
Mike I agree, you are right in your opinion about the unblasted area on the bottom where the stamp is. The design of the area can better, but I think it is difficult to stamp on the blasted area, maybe a laser engraving can do the job!! But expensive machine.
Thank you for comment my photo, I very appreciate this comment from you, because your photo are so good and beautiful.
