My 4th Pipe Made, A Volcano

[clickklick]

This pipe turned into quite the learning experience! I didn't intend to put bamboo on this but ended up cracking the shank when I was shaping. So a whole ton of hours later I have this pipe. Red tripoli buffing was not nice to me on this one. Did the best I could, but my skill level is not at the level that this pipe required.

Are you selling them or smoking them? If you are keeping it I say well done and enjoy the heck out if it. If you are selling it you still deserve a pat on the back if the price is right to the buyer.

I think it turned out quite well. Especially only being your fourth pipe. Great job.

Thanks. Right now they are not enough quality to sell. I keep them or gift them to people. Out of four I have gifted 3 and kept one.

Embers, nice! That one is like a volcano / cup and saucer hybrid!

No where near the sophistication and beauty of yours though. Have never seen bamboo on a volcano. Very nice!

Thanks. It wasn't planned, more of an oopsie that worked out somewhat.

I call those, " happy accidents". :D

Some really good looking pipes you have been making there.

Nice job

No apology needed Click, you got talent, really good work Young man.

Fine job, click'. I think it has a nice moderate look that invites a smoke. I count my Peterson B11 so-called brandy pipes as my own favorite volcanos, since they fit either category.

Good proportions! Pipe making sure is fun! and addictive...
