2019 West Coast Pipe Show Nov 2&3

Made another pass through and snagged this Mark Tinsky pipe:



Jiminks, my wife, and sable;



Sable and me:



Silliness aside, it is astounding how much these guys know about pipes and tobacco!

Also got this pipe from Alexander Hasty:





The stem is unfinished so now I really have something to look forward to. Can't wait to receive the finished product. I talked to Alexander a bit about the process of carving a pipe; asymmetry vs symmetrical, etc. It is a pure alchemy of science and engineering to bring one of these things together!

Fixed it to Hasty - Bob

Once I figure out how to edit from my phone I'll correct the artist's name to Hasty.

Great pics and updates. Where's Jon (Jguss)?

Fantastic updates, thanks for the pictures! Although I'm a newbie, it's hard to miss the obvious camaraderie that this forum (and hobby) fosters. I'm off to the patio (it's a balmy 54 deg) to smoke a bowl of Nightcap.

My boss is a slave driving asshole, wait, I'm self-employed.......
