Well as requested here is a pic of my buddy smoking the pipe I made him for the first time. And actually the first time ever smoking a pipe. He loved the set and the experience.

Dave:
One of my twin sons is almost halfway to becoming a USMC 2nd John and I've been following this build closely.
You did good, man. That young jarhead is fortunate to have you in his life.

Very cool pipe. My co-worker who is a former Marine would love that pipe. Looks like a great smoker. Glad he enjoyed the pipe and experience.

Yeah he figured it out. We had a fun day. Went and did some shooting too. He served 3 tours in Iraq and lost his brother in law in Afghanistan a Marine from the 3/5. He was very moved and I know he will treasure it

I like that you chose a plateau block. It reflects the ruggedness and integrity that the emblem symbolizes. :wink:

How often does a person have their first smoke using a nice handmade pipe made by a friend? Glad to see your friend enjoyed the pipe and smoking it!
