Made a pipe for a Friend.

[ejames]

A few months back one of my friends over at the DGCF sent me a new Brigham and four new Grabow CDL pipes-said I owed him one. So I decided to make one for him to see if that would settle the score. It's an overgrown copy of a Grabow shape 25,which is my friends favorite Grabow shape. I used the Grabow Starfire in the pictures as my "model".

Edit: Fixed pictures so that they show up in the thread, Bubba

Lucky friend.

Great job, now I want to start making pipes...along with my 6 other hobbies.

 

[puffintuff]

Your friend should be happy. You did a great job. I haven't seen that

shape from Grabow. Is it discontinued ?

 

[buck67]

Very good job. Beautiful pipes.

 

[ejames]

Thanks Gents ! Made this from a predrilled block that I bought at the Grabow factory last year while on a tour of the place with some other Grabow fans.

puffintuff-- yes that shape hasn't been made for a good many years.They use to make a lot of interesting shapes,now they are down to a few basic shapes.

Sounds familiar ejames. I had to just set one of my pipes aside for myself so I had one.
