This was a cool competition to follow. Congrats to the winners!

thanks for hosting guy, there are some great looking pipes in the lot! #7 was my effort, which has A stem made from the "Wayne" material (not a preform).
I really don't know if it is good or bad that it looks like a preform. Regardless, congrats to the winner. I am interested in seeing the results from the others forum members picks.

I get the impression there are a lot more photos than just these profiles.

If not, I say the judges are nuts -- based on just the photos posted.



Just saying'.

I thought this was a contest of trick shots with a pool table. I'm so disappointed.

I'm sure its not the first or last time this forum will let you down.

Thanks, Ernie, Adam, and everyone else that gave their input. I'm the maker of #5, thanks for the congrats everyone. That is a great collection of nice billiards! I've learned quite a bit from this contest, the forum and fellow pipe makers, and hope to continue to grow as a pipe maker. Sadly I haven't been able to make a pipe in a good while. Seems like every winter I get bombarded with guitar repair jobs, but they seem to be slowing down, so I should be able to get back to the grinding wheel very soon.

This has been a lot of fun to participate in and to watch. And Ernie you did a wonderful job of keeping us in suspense for soooo long. Thank you for putting this on.

In the spirit of full disclosure I will out myself as well. I am the maker of No. 11 the Canadian that, apparently, does not belong in a Billiard contest.

Congrats Abe. Nice job on that pipe!

I'll lay claim to #3. I hadn't realized how non-precise I was until trying to make something perfect for the contest. It helped me a lot. Thanks to all and congrats to the winners.

Uhh, yes, that was my intention. All part of the... plan.
