The good news is this one turned out beautifully. The bad news is I can't sell it due to a flaw in side the tobacco chamber.

Flaws give things character. You may not be willing to sell it due to the flaw, but surely it doesn't make it impossible to smoke yourself? Or is it bad enough that it does.. ?
Well whichever, very nice work at the least mate, very attractive.

buckeye: How does a pipe smoke if you rusticate the inside of the chamber? :P
edit: Hmm, maybe I didn't pay enough attention, it said "in side the tobacco chamber" which I interpreted as "inside", but most seem to have interpreted it differently.

I thought it was inside too --- at first I thought you might be able to see the flaw he was talking about on the outside . . .but the only thing that looked like it might be one to me looks good I think and might just be a little dark patch

Stupid Question: Could you fill it or perhaps sand it down a bit? You make excellent pipes BTW.

I will pack the internal flaw with some pipe mud and keep this one. Can't sell one that may burn out.

Smoke a cheap Swisher sweet, add a drop or two of water to the ash to make a paste, apply to internal booboo! Let thoroughly dry and fire that puppy up!

Unclearthur,

Do you make pipes on order or do you have certain designs that you sell?

I will attempt about anything. As my Gran once told me , I am not bright enough to figure out there is something I can't do.

My parents used to tell me I was either A) too smart for my own good (my mum) or B) Just smart enough to get myself killed (my father was a little less than subtle. . .)

My parents used to tell me that I would be a dangerous person if I had a brain. Not really sure if thats supposed to be an insult or a compliment...
Very nice looking pipe Arthur, too bad about the flaw. You could always sell it patched as a "seconds" though... :wink:
