Soon be owl coloured!

A beautiful pipe, that color is bringing it to life.

Looking good that pipe is going to be amazing when its fully colored.

The owl is doing very well

Love to hear owls hoot. That one's about to sound off. For a while, we had one in a nearby ravine, and I do miss the sound.

They call the Great Horned Owl the Tiger of the Air, since it is so fierce it will depose eagles off their nests.

I met one at close hand at a raptor class by a wild bird expert. Mostly, you can't own any live raptor or any parts like bones or feathers without many certifications. Indian nations have special dispensation, but anyone else is facing major fines and possible prison.

Yup the only time I ever got to have a hawk purched on my arm, was through a predator bird class I attended when I was 16 in trouble of dropping out. I guess being a bit of a scound paid off in some ways.

Really cool to see this. Thanks for posting. Surprising how subtle the changes are between 100 and 200. Much less striking as between 0 and 100.

It's just creeping along now but becoming richer and filling in the details.

That pipe just gets better looking everytime you share it. You can really see some of the fine details better as it colors.

It’s not that difficult.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Thinking about wet aromatics for the next 100 to see how that affects the coloring.

Doesn’t appear to make much difference. I’m at about 50 bowls of straight from the bag BMP in the last two weeks and I haven’t noticed an accelerated change. To be fair, that isn’t super wet, but it’s not a very dry blend, either.

I'm talking Molto Dolce wet.

 

[ThermionicScott]

Looking great. And this is the only pipe you're smoking in 2023, right?

Now we’re talking. Make sure none drips down the side!

 

[Clouser]

It's looking good. Do you keep a log of the number of smokes in just the Owl or all of your pipes?
I can't keep up with what day of the week it is!

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Been a hoot watching it color.

Your response was head turning. I had to do a double take to see who posted it, and thought "who? Who?"

Alright, I know I'm not punny or a real hoot at parties. Owl see my way out.

Just the owl. A couple of us got new pipes just to document number of smokes versus coloring.
