TopD... That's an awesome job considering the circumstances you did the work under. I'm really diggin' the Marine Corps insignia on the front. Ooo-Rah!
Fred. thanks for the video. It's always a pleasure to watch an artist turn something raw into something wonderful.
Lots of good info about Meers all around, Guys. I really enjoyed reading this thread. :clap:

You're welcome deadwoodpete.

It really is quite the story

I am kind of curious about using other soft stones to make traditional pipes. The obvious choices in the US are pipestone from Minnesota or steatite from the Rocky Mountains. Neither are nearly as light but I wonder if smoking characteristics are similar.
