Last week I received a lot of plates of heather and it came me a taco a bit strange, it looked that he had been embodegado many years.
When I came to see him develop the Churwarden I show in the following photos.
Best regards.
Felix

La pasada semana recibí un lote de placas de brezo y en él me venía un taco un tanto extraño, que se veía que había estado embodegado muchos años.
Al verlo se me ocurrió elaborar la Churwarden que muestro en las siguientes fotografías.
Saludos.

Beautiful. I love the contrast between the finished side and the rough side.

Incredible..the bowl appears almost as though it was grown, instead of made.
Most Excellent pipe.

It looks like it grew right out of something. I don't like to apply the term "organic" cuz it sounds like a comment from a stinky hippy, but that thing is truly one of the more "organic" creations I've seen in quite a while. Wow.
Hopefully I offended all the stinky hippies out there that DON'T want to buy my pipes.

Honestly, I'm not sure exactly what hippies are, but I've read about them, and I sure they would say something like, "Oh, Wow, Man, you're so square. You should sell that assualt rifle of yours and turn-on to flower power." :ROFL:

Mike, Mike, Mike... you left a very important part of my post out in your response. I said "stinky" hippies :lol: . Me and the majority of the hippies get along just fine. We have pretty drastic differences in our world views, but hey as long as we can agree on a couple basic hygiene principals (mostly so we can stand within talking distance and not be distracted by things other than our conversation) we'll be just fine :D . If one of them was willing to part with a very small amount of their hard earned money (yes, I know hippies that work hard, and my pipes are cheap) I would be thrilled to sell it to them. Anyway, long way around the bend to say I wasn't trying to offend, just poke a bit as seems to happen in here quite often. :wink:

Had it been available at the time, there is no doubt in my mind that the producers of "Lord of the Rings" would have jumped on this pipe for a prop.
Superb work!
