Well - Decided To Make A Maple Lovat

[shikano53]

I have a length of maple in the shop and decided to use some of it to make a Lovat. It has a Rosewood ring.

I like it and I have a few MM Maple Diplomats and they smoke very well. Stamping is crisp and clean. The 'M' stands for Maple (surprise!) and the 17 for 2017

Here are the specs.

A truly nice rendition of a Lovat, with a longer shank and the nifty rosewood ring for an accent point. Good thick walls on the bowl too.

Very nice. Perfectly proportioned. Love it.

Another winner Chris! I have an old MM maple pipe, but that is way better looking.

Thank you all for your kind words.

Here is my website. I had taken it down for a couple of months and then last week decided to put it back up. But I completely revamped and redesigned it this past week. Most of the pipes shown there are just for display. Kind of like a log of my progress and mistakes. Mostly mistakes with a bit of progress now and then.

Guys, I apologize. It dawned on me after my edit time had expired that I should not have made a comment about my website. I'm not trying to pull a fast one or slip a low ball, backdoor attempt at marketing.

My only thought was that I had reworked my site.
