Recently finished these commissions and thought I'd share.

I really like this one.

If you direct light from the side, you might be able to show off the blast more clearly.

The first one is beautiful, and the stem shape on the third is outstanding.
Have you ever made a reverse calabash?

Thanks j, yes I need some side lights for my light box. I struggle with pictures.
Kanse- thanks! I've done 3 reverse calabash. They are fun!

Is the stem on the third one Fordite or acrylic?

Thanks everyone!
Phil - The stem is acrylic. I'm not sure a fordite stem that you put in your mouth would work very well, not durable enough or taste very good. And in thinking about it, I'm sure I'd be paying more for the fordite chunks than I sold the entire pipe for in this case. There were some fordite chunks for sale in Chicago and they were crazy prices, and if they came from a "corvette" factory, somehow that made them triple the cost of the "ford" variety.

Thanks for the info, I hadn't really thought about the toxicity of old paint. The stem is quite attractive in any case and the blast is very nice on the briar, well done.
