Comrades!

My beloved wife is the youngest of 11 sisters and brothers.
Two of them (the brothers!) happen to be pipe-smokers, one of these, Heinz, turns 60 on Good Friday. I decided to make him 3 Walle-typicals along with a decent pedestral for his mantle-piece.















I found the piece of driftwood on a beach in County Kerry/Ireland. The pipes I hade to make by myself, though.

Cheerio!
Walle

That is one hell of a gift! I'm sure he'll treasure it for years. My favorite is the Lugalla.

Cool looking set Walle. It all goes together nicely. You went the extra mile with the placards and the stand and all. A great gift! It's nice to be able to give your pipes away to people who appreciate them. Have I ever mentioned how much I appreciate pipes?

I believe you found these pipes washed up on the beach, and then crafted the log on which they rest.
Have I discovered your secret ?

Extraordinarily original; as always.
Best regards.

Walle-

My birthday was New Years Eve (34). Since I'm a bit more than half your brother-in-law's age, I believe the math means I should be expecting 1 typical pipe and a partial pedestral, yes?

I'll take one of your sisters on a date if necessary.

My brother-in-laws don't even know when my birthday is. You may just be the coolest brother-in-law in the world, Walle. Awesome gift and set.

Hi comrade Walle,
as mentioned on our brotherly German forum before,such a beautiful gift for a very lucky brother in law!
Sharing is such a deeply rewarding experience, given to some...appreciated by all.

Best,
Abi

nice classical Wallenstein pipes take care my friend...

Some day I hope to be as creative, looney, artistic and quirky as you. Maybe in my old age
