Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Excellent work, it's gorgeous. You'll have to let us know how it smokes.

Thank you very much guys.

Sincerely I don't think todeserve all these praises, but surely they are an incentive to my work.

Here are some more pictures under the sunset light that emphasize the shape:

I made more than 30 original pipes and I smoked just 8 of them (fortunately none of these disappointed me).

The problem is that after a hard work I am scared to soil or scratch them so that I smoke just those with some lack or that I am sure I shall never sell. And this one doesn't belong to that group.

Very cool shape, nice job.

1coyote; maybe it is not everybody's cup, but it is surely worth to be smoked.

With your experience I'm sure you'll make nice pipes (as you already proved). My best wishes for your new pipe.

I envy your perseverance and ability to create such a precision work as the one I guess you are doing.

Good work!
