Love the black ring ferrule detail. (??)Reinforcement for the boxwood extension.

Thank you.
Definite Danish-influenced design which I like.
The other Tsuge pipe maker, Ohi San's pieces are a bit "challenging" (IMO)

Agreed. I prefer Kikuchi's aesthetic to the others. Her pipes don't stay on the market long. Great pipes congrats

I haven't been posting in the WAYS thread for some weeks.

Nursing a nasty viral throat with severe laryngitis these past few (5/6) weeks. Courtesy of my darling 4 1/2 yo granddaughter. Definitely not COVID
It'll be at least another fortnight before my throat will be near normal enough to risk a couple of bowls.

This beauty is sitting in the rank behind a couple of other pipes (a Barling motor dome and a "John Brumfit" Barling) waiting to be smoked.

Surely there are no more white whales left out there for ya ray! Stunning.

Thanks for the heads up on this, Dave.

You always think that white whale was the last, until you sight another.
Sigh ! ?
