Straweberry Prince

Post by scotties22 »

First, I can't wait until Friday when I get my new camera. I'm really getting tired of my 10 year old Coolpix :banghead:

I made this strawberry prince for DaninDaytona. I forgot to measure the damned thing before I boxed it up, so these are close and based on my sketch.

Length: right around 7" long
Height: 1.125"
Width: 1.5"
Chamber: .75 x .93"

I like that a lot! Paint the magnet black with magic marker and it's hard to see.

Not bad.

Though you really shouldn't use your pipes for target practice before selling them.

That's really nice. You should be proud of that one.

.22, free hand from 100 yards and didn't destroy it. Awesome! Annie Oakley re-incarnate.

Nah....it's birdshot from 500 feet in my 870 express. I tried heavy game load, but there wasn't anything left of the pipe after two rounds :lol: The .22 is how David does the moon rock rustication, he just doesn't want anyone to know :lol:

Nice. The only criticism I see is that the stem could be more slim towards the button. If you took more off the bottom of the stem the overall composition would look more graceful. Nice pipe though.

Something I am working on for sure. I always think I have taken enough off the bottom line and haven't. A few more files strokes of material off the bottom line from the bend to the button would make all the difference. Something to keep in mind.

I haven't received the pipe yet (maybe today). But, I'm very excited to get it fired up. I'm sure that it will be one of my "perfect" smokes.
