   Go for it Josh! I know you can do it! Man if you can shape that sucker, the world of pipemaking is yours!

   Cool pipe, but not my style or price range.

   that would definitely be a challenge!

   lol, Dragon that is plain mean. I have eyeballed that pipe a number of times, it is to die for. Too bad it is priced that way. If Josh can make that then he is a master.

   I think this one would be a little easier.

   That Jess pipe probably sold for at least 5 grand. That is some serious grain.

   Here is another awesome pipe from him.

   Seems sometimes it's all about the grain, finish or shape, and when you hit a homerun with all three, you're 4 figures.

   I don't think anyone does a better job of having the wood speak to him than Jess Chonowitsch. It's like his finished pipes actually talk back.

   I know, I'm a bit odd

    Well for some it may be the Michael Angelo thing:

    You need a name to get 40 figures also. If some noname happened to make a pipe of the same quality, perhaps by accident, it would sell for 1/10th the price.
