New Mutts
We bought a new house out in the country, and first thing I needed was a couple mutts. We watched the local Shelter for awhile until one pup caught our attention. He was about 3 months old when we adopted him in December. No telling what he is, best guess is Shepherd and Heeler but for sure...- lonestar

Le Morta d'Author
Morton here on the forums asked me to post some pics of his latest pipe. It's the 3rd Author in a set, the first 2 being a Briar and a Strawberry wood. I think it's the most awesome one yet, and I named it Le Morta d'Author :mrgreen: Now he needs one in Olive wood :nana: -

Dad
I got the call that Dads health has taken a turn and they don't expect he will make it much further... Leaving in the morning to Florida and hoping we can see him again before he goes. If anyone out there cares to send a prayer, just ask that we can make it there to be with him and that he can...- lonestar

Home From Arkansas
When I was growing up, the family of a close friend would take family vacations most summers to the Ouachita Mountains. Lake Ouachita is just north and east of Hot Springs. It may be one of the prettiest lakes I've ever seen, crystal clear water and mountains and trees that run right down to the...- lonestar

Hatfield Pipe
Just so you guys dont think I'm slacking, been putting a lot of hours in at the shop without a lot to show for it. I started with some very old Greek briar, thinking it would take the dark stain well. After breaking TWO shanks off I figured out this stuff is too brittle after sitting for 50... -
Third and Fourth Finished Pipes
Just an update on how the pipemaking is coming along. I finished a Bulldog for the GKCPC pipe competition, it was a rush job at the last minute and I'm not entirely happy with it but its going to be a good smoker even if it wins no awards! I also finished a sweet little shop pipe for myself... -
My First Two Finished Pipes
Well I finally got some pictures of my first two pipes, a cutty and a lovatish-billiard. There is lots of room for improvement on both pipes, but I think the second was more successful than the first. I've worked out a few of the mistakes I made on the first, so hopefully I'll be offering some... -
Finally Making Some Pipes !

Carpool to Chicago Pipe Show
I'm panning to attend Chicago this year, one way or another. I'm sure a lot of you guys will fly in, but a lot of us will end up driving too. The thought crossed my mind to ask other DFW members if they want to carpool there and split gas money. But I figure I'll throw the idea out there, and...- lonestar
