   Sometimes when I am inspired with a design, I cannot sit still and not work every hour I can until it is done.

   So here is my 7th homemade design inspired for Saint Patrick's Day: A Pot O' Gold

   A green pot shape with a natural finish on the rim... hence a Pot O' Gold!

   What did you use for the green?

   I use Fiebings leather dye because it is a good stain that is not oil based.
   The color for this Fiebings is: Green
   It turns out about similar to Peterson Racing Green but without the darker tones Peterson gets.

   I'm not a fan of the colored pipes, yet I am sure your Pot O' Gold would sell in a New York Minute. Nice job again, Josh!

    A real beauty, the top contrast makes it a classic. The fact you din't attach a cheezy colored stem to it, which would have ruined it, pulled it together as a colletor's pipe.

    While the shape isn't really my style, I love the color.

    That's a great looking pipe. I have a Peterson's racing green pipe and I prefer your take on it. Love the contrasting natural rim.

    I'm in love with this pipe. You're a hell of a pipe maker. Again the contrasting rim. A super clean shape and Green! Love every inch of it. If you ever decide to make that pipe in a churchwarden, i'm a buyer. I'm going to start saving now.
