Happy to see that you are back, Tommi.
Now let's be honest. Are those really faux blasts? They look so realistic! I have always been astounded by how you do that.

I like those pipes

"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

Faux blasts? Will someone please explain?

It's when the pipemaker rusticates in a manner which mimics an actual sandblast- it's really really difficult.

Those are really nice. The faux blasts are almost completely convincing. I think if a guy didn't know they weren't sandblasts he might not catch it. The bowls are pretty indistinguishable from a real sandblast. The rustication on the shanks are the give-away. Refine the shank rustication pattern and I don't think most would even know.

Fantastic pipes, Tommi! I never get tired of being fooled by your fake blast. Great stuff!

Gorgeous, you have been busy. I also appreciate the fact you provide pictures of the stem out of the shank so one can see the connection, that's really helpful.
