    This is a free hand that I just finished. I was extremely pleased with this piece of briar, the grain was so much fun to bring out with sanding. Please let me know what you all think.
    Happy smoking everyone!

    I think you'll never have to worry about burning your hand
    I like it.

    Mine mine mine. Looks great.

    If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.

    The talent of the members here seems to know no bounds. That is a sharp pipe.

    Snus, snuff and briar.

    BB: I think it looks horrible and should be disposed of immediately ! I will take care of that for you, so I will send you my address

    That is one sweet looking pipe man ! Very nice work indeed !

    "The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

    Nice, very nice.

    Woot! Woot! When this exquisite beauty came up for sale t'other day, my keyboard was smokin' ... this baby is destined for a trip across the pond to take absolute pride of place in my collection.

    Since my very first pipe smoke I've been searching for a tactile tomato, but never really found quite the "immaculate one" ...closest I could get was Mario Grandi, but some unknown force stopped me ... now I know why

    She's currently undergoing some modifications to suit my feminine tastes (stop rolling your eyes boys or I'll poke them) and hopefully BriarBird will post pics after I've received her because I've asked him to surprise me.
