Cool idea would be neat in a man cave. I would try something like that but i think it would lose its charm with a burbon bottle, old beer cans and pipe tins. Plus idk what i would do with it. Have fun finishing it and the stories that go with it.
Good looking pipes. Love my 2 Neerup pipes and both are wonderful smokers. He does a good job with some nice accents at a reasonable prices. What more can you ask for?

Sounds like a good time. Never meet him but have emailed him several times and talked to him once on the phone. He was helping with some questions about one of his pipes. Very pleasant and over the top helpful on the phone. Can't wait to see pics
