Great looking site. Really love your 1st & 4th pipe. You have a good eye for design When you were doing furniture, did you make any of your designs yourself.

Hi Costy !

Your website is great

Presently, I'm making the mine, I'll present it here when the translation will be all done.

How do you do to grab your name on your pipes ? I find it's beautiful as it.

Happy smoking,
David.

Thank you fellows for the appreciations regarding my website!
My signature is engraved with a rotary drill.I don't have a puncher yet but in my opinion, with a little practice and patience an engraved signature looks better than a stamped writing.It's genuine...
Interestingly my pipe #1 is made from hornbeam, a very hard and homogeneous wood while pipe #4 from wild pear wood.

A rotary drill ? Humm... I intented it with the Dremel but it was horrible

What diameter do you use for it ? Mine is probably too large :think:

Thank you very much

I managed to have acceptable results with the smallest engraving bit I could find. I was given a ParaGrave about a year ago, and with it came about 200 bits of various sizes and materials. I just pulled the smallest one I could find, and used it in my flex-shaft tool.

Unfortunately, my handwriting sucks, and me trying to draw a legible sig on wood sucks even more. It's acceptable, but it's not as nice to look at as some (most? every?) folks' sigs that do it that way. So, I decided to get some stamps made up.
