Finished My Pipe for the Kansas City Contest

[shaintiques]

Well after probably 40 hours of work my pipe is finally finished. I drilled the block, shaped the pipe, stained and did all of the finshing. Drilled the stem block, shaped the stem, and got it all polished up. And I am really pleased with it. I would say that it is the best work I've done so far. I'm not going to post pics or give any details about it other than that till after the show, but I'm excited. The real quandary is whether or not to offer it for sale at the show, if it doesn't win :wink:!

Can't wait to see it man.

You gonna win, I put the gri,gri on the others, that's Cajun Vodoo! The side effect is only a Cajun can smoke it and I will happily do it for you. :laughat:

Good luck at the show shaintiques. Just making a beautiful pipe from an undrilled block is an accoplishment. Just make sure we get to see the pics after the show. :laughat:

Sorry the Vodoo started working early.

Brad: Does your Gri Gri work on people? I have a wife I want to get rid of.

Maybe, but the side effects are she has to go to a Cajun. :rofl:

 

[tbradsim1]

No can do Foggy, if the side effect is like trailspike said I got one wife too many.

 

[shaintiques]

Thanks guys, I've already had my wife take lots of pics of it, and I will post them up first thing after the show. It was fun to make and expanded my boundaries. Can't wait to start the next one.

foggymountain, I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate problem. I suggest you take up the practice of smoking a heavy Latakia inside the house, and see if that helps.
