Re: Help name my new blasts?
You could call it "Makes Sasquatch feel a little queezy with how sort of weirdly organic/marine it looks" but that doesn't have much of a ring to it.
ALL YOUR PIPE ARE BELONG TO US!

The [super-extreme] closeup looks kinda like coral or sea anemones on the ocean floor.

"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

Sorry about that rediculously large photo. I didn't realize it would show up like that! It won't happen again!Nate wrote:The [super-extreme] closeup looks kinda like coral or sea anemones on the ocean floor.
Yes, it does look like some kind of sea floor sort of formation, but the super-extreme closeup is like looking at it through a loupe... In every day, walkin' around, normal guy vision, I really have to agree that it looks like suede. Personaly, I think it looks better natural, unstained... Maybe the next one will remain natural and I'll try to get some opinions on that.
Cheers!

Re: Help name my new blasts?
Honestly it strikes me as too much of a good thing - an entire pipe done in that surface would actually distract me, I think. A little like Wallenstein's patented "driftwoodsteamroommicrowavedpotato" finish, which he uses to good effect as a contratst to smooth sections on his pipes.
But if a guy were to, you know, use it as a contrast, to say, like, oh I dunno, a wax drip or something (just to pick something TOTALLY at random) it might work really really well. Just sayin.

Re: Help name my new blasts?
You're totaly right. A whole pipe finished like this would be kinda creepy. It definately needs to be tastefully balanced. Here's a pic of the whole pipe (hopefully I got it sized properly this time). You can see that the shank has been left smooth, which balances the finish well, in my opinion... Also, you can see that the blast, while quite dramatic very close up, is much more pleasing than you might think!Sasquatch wrote:Honestly it strikes me as too much of a good thing - an entire pipe done in that surface would actually distract me, I think.

Re: Help name my new blasts?
I would call it, "Wookiee Scrotum Blast." For the obvious reasons.
Re: Help name my new blasts?
Hey Walt,
I heard you were coming back - I'll look forward to meeting you. Are you planning on heading to Chicago this time around?
Of the three options you mentioned, I like "Husk" best.

Re: Help name my new blasts?
Oh man, it feels really nice! It feels like suede too, maybe a little harder. It's like holding a fine pumice stone... That's as close as I can get. It's really hard to describe.the rev wrote:Wow really does look like suede. How does it feel in your hand?

Re: Help name my new blasts?
I would love to go to Chicago! So many good memories... I don't know if it will happen so soon for me, but if I can figure out a way, I will. Did I mention "so many good memories"? So many...e Markle wrote:Hey Walt,

Re: Help name my new blasts?
I still can't look at it without thinking that you would be cupping one of Sas's testicles every time you smoked it... not that it would be a bad thing, because I actually really like the rustication. (Of the pipe, not Sas's mannish parts, because he has yet to post any pictures.)
I have it!!!
"Sas's Scrotum Blast" or "SSB" for short.
Thoughts?
I just put this one in here because I like it.
