For beginning carvers who want a few new practice shapes
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.
Re: For beginning carvers who want a few new practice shapes
Yeah, easy stuff.
While these pipes are really not attractive for me personally, I would love to see his process for finishing these carved shapes. I'm pretty sure it involves a selection of little rotary tools, like tiny scotch brite wheels, dental style rubber+abrasive bits, etc.. But how does he use them without getting any micro texture? I don't know, would love to see that.

There is a difference between pride and arrogance. Which do you hold in your heart?

Indeed. Given that his earlier, not-nearly-so-amazing specimens routinely go for around $2K, the crazier, newer ones are doubtless selling for considerably more.Billy Klubb wrote:the 2nd thing I noticed is they are all sold. ha!
In fact, in cases like this where your customer base has effectively unlimited means and rare/expensive personal possessions confer social status, the more something costs the more desirable it is. I wouldn't be surprised if a few on that page sold for as much as a decent used car.
The other number I'd love to know is how many hours the trickier ones took to make.

With all that intricate sanding, I can only assume that a case of crippling arthritis is in his future.
