WOW
Now that's sexy!

 

[olderthandirt]

You are obviously getting some good briar to work with. Flame grain on the sides and solid birds eye on the rim, a joy to view. Thanks for continuing to post your work!

 

[pentangle]

How big?...something like a Castello 16 cm long and 4,5 large and the hole is 20 mm.One "medium size" from what i carved till now

The bird's eye on the top is fabulous.

 

[lonestar]

[chispa]

Nice!! love that birdseye!!
Where you getting the briar? Predrilled with stem?

 

[pentangle]

Briar it's italian and came from Calabria or Liguria two region where i usually buy it.I drill myself the ebauchons ad modify lucite stems usually on the italian market.In some case stem also it's hand-cut by me when dimension or shape needs that

Great job, I love the grain.

Very nice,pentangle. Where did you learn your carving skills? I thought that might be fun to try, but I know nothing of carving. I'd hate to botch my first attempt.

 

[mp31guitar]

You do some great work my friend.

 

[cyndi]

The grain is amazing! I doubt any other shape would have captured it as well.

 

[bootlegbonvivant]

That's an amazing grain and definitely love the birds-eye! I'm not much of a fan of panel pipes, but like Cyndi said, I don't think you could've captured it as well any other way.

 

[pentangle]

Italian briar is real nice.Rarely i found fills in it and the pipes i carve have none.Thank you again for the appreciation of my works.Usually i don't like round bowls.As i'm a pipe smoker i can find them easily on the market and it's a good occasion to buy.I try to make what on the market usually i don't see but my eyes and my mind loves
