Heading To Chicago With A Few Of My Friends...

[zack24]

If you guys haven't seen me as much over the past couple of months...it's mainly because I've been grinding it out in the shop during every spare minute...Thought I would share some of the pipes I finished and am taking to Chicago...And really wanted to say "Thanks"- I've had a lot of great feedback over the past year from the forum as I started making pipes again...

...and this first one is for Harris, who when he is at the house chowing down on some of Greta's cooking is constantly bugging me to do some traditional shapes...
First up is a pair of billiards-

Followed by some Dublin variations...

...and you knew there would be some Reverse Calabash Snappin' Turtles...

...and even more Dublin variations....(love this shape)

...and a couple of Reverse Calabash designs and a Cherrywood...

...and a Tiny Dublin, a bambooDublin, and a Caracol...

..and finally- a bamboo tomato and a freehand with oxhorn...

It's time for a beer- Looking forward to seeing you guys in Chicago!

Love them all but the billiards are drop dead gorgeous! Good luck at the show.

So cool... Have fun!

Wow, that first straight Dublin in the upper left hand corner is absolutely stunning!!!

 

[conlejm]

All your pipes look outstanding, but those Dublins take the prize. I wish you all the best in Chicago!

Absolutely beautiful work! Have a great time in Chicago, the pipes won't last long.

See you there.

zack, you progression in the last few months is astounding. Those billiard are killer and your blast work looks better than guys who have been doing it for years. I predict you are going to do very well in Chicago and make a real name for yourself. I will be expecting my ten percent for teaching you all you know about pipe. :nana: See you at noon tomorrow buddy.

I am not a freehand kinda guy but those Reverse Calabash Snappin' Turtles are very cool looking.

 

[pipedreamer]

Have a good time, all of you.

Harris, I don't know much....I'm either a really bad student or the master is flawed...

Lovin that "Neerup-like" Dublin.
Enjoy the show. As others have said I don't think those pipes will last long.
