I sent this Prince shaped pipe off to Mr. Jason Gone for one of his world famous rustication jobs. I was starting to get worried because I hadn't heard from him in a while and thought my pipe might have gotten lost in the mail. Then, yesterday, I had to take the car in to get new brakes and dropped almost $200 in the process. I was a bit bummed because I knew I was going to be flat broke until I got paid again. Then, today, there was a mysterious box on my doorstep, its origin unknown. When I ripped it open, you guys wouldn't believe the look of joy that was spread on my face.
He also included this nifty little piece of artwork, which is rather beautiful and I'm guessing was the work of his talented hands.
He also was horribly generous and sent some Jackknife Plug for me to try.
This little guy has some beautiful grain on it
Mr. Jason has told me that he might have some pics laying around of when he first stripped the finish prior to rustication. Let's hope he will be generous enough to post them. The work that he did on this pipe has absolutely exceeded my expectations and will be cherished by me for years to come. Jason, in the name of all that is holy, thank you! It will see its maiden voyage later on tonight!
