Freehand Finished

[firstwordisee]

Well here is the finished freehand. I had a lot of fun carving it. The feel of this pipe is amazing and the briar was good. Only a couple of small flaws that I didnt bother to fill. I used leather dye and finished with carnuba. Your comments are appreciated. Cant wait to get another block and do it again!

Thanks gentlemen. I really wish I could get bigger pictures posted so you could see the nice grain. The mods here have tried to help me but sometimes what I do works and sometimes it doesnt and I dont do anything different...I give up

I am very sorry for the repeat posts but I finally figured out how to post larger pics. You need to open the picture first before copying the img properties.
