So have you smoked that pipe?
Said the guy who thinks that it's perfectly fine not to smoke every pipe.

I have indeed. :D
One day this past Fall it spoke to me and I couldn't refuse. No drama, no hesitation, no ceremony. I just realized the perfection had been fully appreciated and it was time to move the relationship forward.
Glad it happened, too, because it's a damn fine little tobacco cooker. Super comfy, tastes great. No shortcomings at all. About a hundred bowls through it so far, I'd guess.
That's a really attractive, classic looking billiard. Very nice image capture as well. :

Waitaminute! This pipe kinda reminds me of something I just saw ...

Waste of a good piece of wood... He could have made an amazing Elephants Butt out of the same block, now that would be stunning :lol:
And there you have it! From the sublime to the ridiculous...expect nothing less on the PM forum. :lol:
Nothing ridiculous about it. Ryan is one of America's rising star carvers, and dismissing his design ideas mustn't be done lightly. While unusual, his (apparent) fascination with elephantine posterior rotundity deserves our attention.
Perhaps he'll post a sketch? :mrgreen:
I dunno. Some women prefer the strong, silent, Texas gentleman type to the mysterious Mediterranean artiste/moviestar sort. Might be a toss-up, there.
Oh, wait. You're talking about pipe making. :lol:
In which case it's not apples to apples. Very different visions, plus Chris has been at it twice as long.
WOW, at this point in time I don't particularly gravitate towards billiards but that up there is a stunner. Crisply photographed too! Glad to hear you succumbed to enjoying its tobacco cooking qualities.
Well, I met Ryan, so I can tease him, right? I'm not sure which pipe I enjoy more, it's a toss up and both put a big grin on my face each time I pull one out of the case.
Holy bat, caveman! I talked to Ryan about a commission recently and his voice belies such ferocity!
George! That photo--- now I cannot unsee it. There must be at least two large-assed women in that dress.
Perfect ! No sketch necessary, that right there is ready for a stamp and a pipe sock. As Nate King would say, "Ship It!!!"
PS; that is absolutely not me in the picture, lest anyone be confused. I eat way too many burritos to ever look like that guy haha. At least George is posting flattering fake picture of me, instead of some big Green Ogre. Though I'm sure his mouse is already hovering over a picture of one as I type :D
