Stamping is bad for you

I'm pretty sure that instead of worrying about the effects of tobacco use, the surgeon general should start crafting warning messages about stamping pipes. LOL
I am in the final stages of finishing a club pipe order of 15 pipes. Today I finally mustered up the courage to stamp them all, which was an even more involved process than usual because in addition to my own stamp, I was stamping the club lettering on the pipe as well.
14 pipes down (with mainly satisfactory results), and 1 to go, I wound up with this:
Turns out there was a small flaw in the wood lurking just below the finished surface which ran horizontally across the shank, and when I pressed the stamp in...CRACK.
Oh man...that hurts. Now I have to make another pipe for the club pipe order, which means it will be that much longer before I can start on Christmas pipes. *sigh*
