this is a in-progress picture of where i am on my first pipe carving, and altering attempts. the pipe in the front is the first i have shaped from a pre-drilled block. the pipe in the middle was the first i purchased and was once wrapped in leather. i got it for 10 bucks 9 years ago and never smoked it but the few times it took to make me know i liked smoking a pipe if not that one. i decided to rip the leather off rusticate and refinish it as a practice and lead in to the pipe i shaped. the block in the back in a bent i started playing with a little. already i am thinking of a couple of things to do to a few beat up old cheap pipes.
i am still adding more texture and crack details between the smooth and the textured. i kept the walls petty thick so i could get a deeper difference between textures. yes i am a big fan of the nording partial rustification.
