That's another beauty, Fish! I don't normally like bamboo shanks, but that shape and blast works very well together with the bamboo! Congrats!

Very Nice !
I was never that into bamboo pipes, but, the more you post these beauties I'm starting to sway my position.

I like bamboo shanks. This is a beautiful pipe, sir. And what I find visually interesting is the look and texture of the birdseye blast. Really, really, really smart.

Nice addition. Is the bowl interior blasted too? Hard to tell in the pics.

That's a beaut. I love bamboo shanks. They look cool. They are incredible light, yet also strong. And a bamboo shank really does make a pipe smoke cool.

So is strawberry describing the shape of the bowl or is there a woody strawberry bush out there?

There is a Strawberry Tree out there, Arbutus unedo , which is related more to cranberries and blueberries but it has nothing to do with strawberry fruit to my knowledge (Fragaria ananassa). It does has red fruit with the seeds on the outside though.....and beautiful uses for pipes.

Hadn't heard of this carver before. Seems to have an Arizona connection.

Yes, it is the bowl shape, I was tired after a day in the deer woods that I typed wood rather than bowl, the interior shows the grain it is not blasted, thanks all.
