    One Of The Biggest Pipe I Carved

    " Its rare to have a chunk of wood with such nice grain and so few fills that it deserves to be carved into something special like this" Well, not so rare at all.Surely expensive,from 40 to 50 dollars to get selected if you buy one.I usually buy more and price decrease a little but remains still...

    One Of The Biggest Pipe I Carved

    Well found in my warehouse a Big piece of briar and then I started to carve a big pipe,probably to much big to be smoked without keeping it always in a hand 8O .It measures 8,46 inch lenght 2,78 inch height,2,75 inch width and weight is 0,4 lb.What think you to much big?

    Jobey Shellmoor crack...superficial?

    Sadly i think yes .Under a probably fill ther's surely a deep cavern.A briar defect not identifiable during sanding or sandblasting or rusticating.Briar in that point is fragile and that could happen in every moment.Maybe will not break soon because of the position of the crack but guess one...

    Lorenzo Spitfire Prestigio
