GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
Just saw that the shape for the GKCPC carving contest was announced- dublin/belge/cutty family, which is great for me, cus' I've been meaning to play with that shape.
Who all is gonna enter this? I'm pretty excited to actually enter a PIPE competition- kinda a new thing for me
Cheers!

Not quite ready this year to tackle a contest. Maybe next time.

I'm guessing Sas'll send in a billiard.
Re: GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
Billiard is a Dublin variant, right?
I actually have a block sitting here marked "GKCPC", but the best pipe it's going to produce is like, a giant, full bent Dublin thing, and I just don't have a clue if that's even going to be worth entering. Looks like a super block though.

They won't let me, something about not being in the right zip code.
Re: GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
I've been thinking about it, but haven't decided if I'm going to enter or not. I kinda get the feeling that if you're an aspiring American pipe carver it'd be foolish not to enter... so it's likely that I will.
Re: GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
I plan on entering just for the discipline
I have a block picked out and a design drawn up
I will lose, but in losing I will win

"but rev, isn't smoking a sin?"
well I suppose if one were to smoke to excess it would be a sin
"but what would be smoking to excess?"
Why smoking two pipes at once of course

Re: GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
I thought about it, but the competition was so steep last year, I'm not sure. But, then again, I'm in one of those moods lately that has me wondering if I should just sell my gear and get a motorcycle

Interesting. Belge & cutty I can see, but I would never consider the dublin shape to be related to the cutty. But what do I know?The Smoking Yeti wrote:Just saw that the shape for the GKCPC carving contest was announced- dublin/belge/cutty family...
Re: GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
I brought up the same thing on Smokers Forum in the Common Sewers section figuring I was missing something. Apparently there's a small contingent that thinks there's a loose association so the decided to be inclusive instead of exclusive. I don't see the connection either but oh well. The only issue I see is that it will be difficult to measure the pipes with each other if they are different shapes.e Markle wrote:Interesting.

Re: GKCPC Carving contest- who's entering?
Which is kind of why I feel like sending in a XXXL Oom Paul Dublin - I find this range of shapes so ridiculously UNrelated that I have a tough time taking the thing seriously as "judgable". It's about as smart as linking an old clay cutty to a figural meerschaum... they're both basically made of mineral, after all.
