I made this pipe for my buddy as a wedding gift. It is a Cherrywood shape with a hand cut brown amber colored lucite stem. Forgive the pics of my shop, I normally have the wife take some professional shots, just didn't have time. Went to his wedding over the weekend and there are also some pics of us with our pipes smoking and posing.






The first bowl.



My buddy smoking his pipe for the first time.



He and I.



The groom and groomsmen with our pipes.





I also got to go to Gettysburg on Memorial Day and smoked a bowl while walking around the battlefield.

Oh we consumed many beverages as well, played some poker, and smoked a lot of tobacco.

A pipe smoking wedding! How cool is that. Gettysburg too! I'm 5 hours west and have been there twice. What a humbling experience for the human soul.

A pipe to last a good long time, with instant memories attached to it. Well done sir, proving the best gifts cannot be bought.

That's a handsome pipe. I like briar and the stem is a great complement. Your friend will be smoking that one

at his retirement party too. You may get a lot of wedding invitations now. Good job.
