Hello,

I like the work, the shape is wonderful. Just wondering is that the natural color, or is that after staining? Have you named the pipe?

Aaron, that would be the natural colour. It tends to be more yellow than orange, but darkens slightly with age.

Thanks Frank,

I've learned something, and learning is truly my favorite hobby.

Scuse me, is natural color, only wax.
I think about the name, no name yet

Thats very very nice.

FYI:Native American Indians oftens used osage wood to make their bows (for the bow and arrow).

Hi Kola,

Thank you for sharing that, I've learned something new. To tell the truth I'd never thought about what the Native American's used for their bows or arrows, even though I used to be active in archery.
