Hi Heinz,
Very nice and graceful. Clean design and a fantastic piece of wood.
The shape takes good advantage of the grain pattern.
Staining seems to enhance the grain nicely.
I like this one a lot. My compliments.
Best,
Steven Magruder Morrisette

Exceptional Heinz. I love this pipe. Especially the bent stem. The flow is very organic. Very fluid. Just great buddy. Get yourself a stamp!

Very nice pipe, Heinz! Congratuations on the quick sale. I'm not surprised it went so quick, as I think you let this one go too cheep! It has beautiful grain, which seems perfectly aligned to your shape. It is indeed very gracefull! This is a beautiful block of wood, and it looks to me like you took full advantage of it. Wonderfull straight grain following the shape of the stummel with nice tight and well placed birdseye on the top and bottom of both the shank and the bowl.

I like the bend of the stem. Matches the shape very nicely and I can immagine it would hang well.

Very nicely done, my friend!
