Glad to see you have introduced yourself, my friend. I knew the members would be very interested in hearing about/seeing your pipes. Impressive creation! Now that you have joined, you will find this community very addictive.
You aren't the first one to break a rule or two . And I have to say that from the looks of your pictures, you have come a long way in the short time you have been carving pipes! How much time would you spend every week working on your pipes?
