Fairly happy with the results on a pipe I just finished today- nice little piece of Calabrian briar- Also my first stem shaped from the German ebonite rod- New tools, new techniques, and new challenges in that process- Oh well, it gets easier after the first hundred or so...

Excellent work Zack, and welcome to the forums. I like the Buddha statue as well.

Thanks for the kind words! A really interesting thing for me is that 30 years ago, you had to figure everything out yourself. Now, when I screw something up, I just go to Youtube and get a dozen different approaches on tooling and techniques...That only leaves the challenge of getting your head and hands working in unison...

BTW- I have my picture on my profile where it shows up as my avatar, but it doesn't seem to show up on my posts- any ideas on how to fix that?
