I hope some folks are enjoying this series as much as I do posting it. The tape is off the bowl and ready for final sanding before the staining process begins. The entire process starting from discussing design, colors, features and such is a fascinating exercise for me. I tend to give Dan a lot of feedom with these things because I want his "signature" on the pipe. He insists on drawing his cutomers deep into what is going on a every step. Frankly, it's an honor to have one of his pipes in my bag. I can't wait to get this in my hands.
