Kinda cool...

[billiard]

This pipe shouldn't be posted right after Bruce and Walle post masterpieces but nonetheless here ya go:



While obviously there are things I am not happy with I still thought it was a pretty cool looking pipe anyhow.

Before going to bed last night I posted it on my website on my "In Progress" page as it is awaiting my stamp yet (as well as posting the last smooth pipe I made), and I woke up to find that they both sold already. I am pretty happy about that as selling a pipe publicly is a pretty scary thing!

Bill, that looks distinctly like a pipe to me. Not all masterpieces have to be bright green either. Anyway, I reckon that's the best proportioned pipe you've done so far.

Thanks much Sas.

I second the Sasser, Bill (except the green part--everyone knows that a green pipe is, in fact, an instant masterpiece--sorry, Yeti). Pipes are like women, man (are you ready for this?): Not all women have to be "the one." Some are just good smokers! (sigh, I cracks myself up...Is it Sunday?--ooh...probably going to Hell for that one...[and others]... ).

I do agree with Sassmatazz on the proportions. This is a nicely balanced pipe and I really like the graduated rustication from stem to bowl.
I also checked out your website. Nice stuff. You've amassed a nice collection of your work there (it'd be nice to see pics you can enlarge in your previous work--looks like nice work).

This one looks like a good smoker. Nice work.

Thanks much for the comments on this pipe Sorringowl.

If time ever allows it; I will fix up my website some, and add some more pics and such to it. Thanks for the feedback on it.

Cheers,
Bill
