Carved My Pipe For Christmas

[pentangle]

Last year i bought two Castello as Gift for my self.This Christmas I've planned to spend some money on photographic equipment,so i decided to carve a pipe to smoke on Christmas day.Shape is unusual but very ergonomic, it stands in two fingers.The sterling silver band was added to separate color tones between shank and stem

Merry Christmas to all in advance

They just get better, I wish more pipes were shaped for the hand.

Where's my Christmas pipe? I want one! :rofl:
That is great and I really like the silver band. It add an air of distinction to an already awesome pipe.

Silver band was originally a ring from finger.More thick than a standard silver band for pipe so more sturdy.I Turned it with sand paper to get a semi-square shape.Of course i have turned the shank by hand with sand paper to get a precise diameter to fit the ring

Very nice indeed! I still need to teach myself how to do silver, brass or even damascene steel bands...
I love shiny stuff on my pipes.
