I love the light color of the wood, and if the pipes were not too expensive I would be A buyer. Now to your work, it is awesome, I love it. I can't beleive we have so many talented folks on this forum, but I am glad we do [:clap:]
she was made for my personal collection... but there will be more made from this wood as it seems that this baby is a smoker!
I love the look of it, both the sculptural element and the wood itself. What's the weight on that, mukihr? And an acrylic stem & blue ring, I am guessing?
the weight is 80gr...
a baby monster
:P heheheheh... yes, it is an acrylic stem and a blue ring also made from acrylic bar material...
i would post a link to the data but would not want to get problems with moderators... she is not for sale - she is just mine... the rules on this forum are a bit more strict than usual (which is good) so i will wait for the link until my Selling thread is one week old - just to be sure (however, dear Romeowood, i will be so free to PM you the link for those data's on my homepage - tNd tobacco pipes)..
Great thing about freehands is they can also be used as personal defense weapons!
Ps
you are right dear Sir... here this is just the case
:P
heheheheheh
Yes I like the shape as well. I also have a couple of pipes that are not briar and both are good smokes. I'm not sure what one is made of as I bought it in Ukraine years ago and back then I didnt think toask what it was made from. But my buddy just brought me a pipe from Bulgaria that is either cherry or some other fruit wood. I've only smoked it once so far but the walls of the bowl are very thick so it keeps an even temp and has a good draw. We'll see how it holds up over the long haul. It sounds like if your wood comes from a rose of some type that it may have some briar characteristics as roses tend to be hearty plants.
they use pear wood sometimes.. maybe you have one from pearwood..
St.Lucie cherry (from what i know) is in the group of plants similar to roses... but, she is called cherry because of those aromatic fruits she has... certainly an interesting wood that grows on the sea... very hard, very reliable from what i can see... i read somewhere that sometimes in past, they made cannons out of that wood...
:P
heheheehh...
