Very nice looking. Were you inspired by the danish design of pipes?

Hey Buckeye, how large is the diameter of the bowl and the bowl depth? Are you down to make a pipe for a fellow forum member? aka, me :D

I was kinda wondering the same thing as onizuka! I wouldn't mind claiming that I got a pipe from Buckeye before he got famous! :D

i don`t think i will become famous making kit pipes. the diameter i wish was a little larger but the depth is good. the kits from pimo are pretty nice. i really need to improve on my final sanding. i think once i get a band saw things will get better.

i think a lot of my problems are the heavy grit paper on my disk sander.

Running through the grits and not skipping will give you the best results. I have been known to go above 1500.

thanks. i need to take my time on the sanding. i just smoked half a bowl

of northwoths and out of all the pipes i own this was the most enjoyable.

all you have to do is breath and it draws. i smoked it on the way to work

and sat in my truck and finished it wishing i would of filled it all the way.
