I love panelled pipes. I love your pipe! It is beautiful!!! Must say, the best panel I have ever seen in a free-hand design.
Below is a pic of my most recent purchase of a panelled pipe carved by bob Hayes and featured in the Kansas City panelled pipe carvers contest and pictured in Pipe & Tobacco Magazine last Fall.

That pipe is beautiful. You may have found your calling.
I have never owned a freehand, now I want one. I would love to have one that you made as my first. They have all looked top notch.

Oh yeah, that is beautiful with a capital B. If you had said it was done by a famous-name carver I'd have believed you man.
Edit: LOVE the way the grain twists around the shank!
