The start of 2012
Good day all... well I got my first pipe finished today. This is the last set of pictures with my old camera and I might be updating the pictures once I figure out my new camera
Enjoy

**EDIT - Got to try out the new camera.. still figuring it out.. but the pics are better**

Other than your colt pipe that is my favorite of yours to date. I love the subtle asymmetry. Looks like you have this pipe making thing figured out. Great job.
Re: The start of 2012
Thanks.. it's starting to get weird.. as my 8th grade shop teacher used to say about when he looked at a piece of wood... just work the design out... it's actually nice to look at a block of wood and see the pipe already in there...

Re: The start of 2012
James, the only thing about this pipe I don't care for is the color of the stem...just don't think it matches the extension's color very well. That being said, I think this is one of your nicest shaped pipes yet and certainly some of your best stem work(just not the color, .) Nice pipe.

Wow...I think you just did a "leaps and bounds" sort of thing.
That pipe is in a new league for you.
Well done!

JMG and Nate - tks
Tyler.. I appreciate it... been spending a lot of time working over some of the insight I've been getting over here and through our discussions
I updated the pictures so they look different.. JMG .. check out the color now.. the yellow swirl accents the boxwood and color of the pipe.. just my opinion.
tks again

I like it, James! The shank cap is a nice complement and the shape, grain, and finish look great.

Re: The start of 2012
I agree with Tyler. That's a pretty big leap from your previous work and your previous work was pretty good. I do agree with JMG that a black stem would have looked more classy but the current stem choice is okay. Maybe it matches better in person. Nice job, James.
Re: The start of 2012
Micah and Wayne... the mouthpiece looks better in person.. but then the swirl is a personal choice..just have to hope it's not so personal that nobody wants it... I plan on buying more plan black here in the next few months.. but first I need to use all my other stock
thanks
