I think I jst died and went to heaven! I just opened the most incredibly well packed (read frustratingly so) box from USA ... all I saw was "Smoking Pipe" on the Customs Dec and I started to shake with anticipation and excitement.
It is an absolute work of art chaps, just a beautiful, beautiful thing to behold, and hold! Briarbird, you have an amazing talent my good man and I can seriously see you becoming one hell of an artisan pipemaker.
Now I've got "her" I'm so pleased I haven't scoured the market for another pipe of any kind, and doubt that I ever will again - my colletion is now complete, I can sell some I thought I "simplyhad to have" and haven't even bothered smoking, and nor will I now I have this piece of exquisiteness.
Now, get cracking and make some more unique treasures - and remember, there's a market out there for unises and feminine type pipes instead of bog standard briar & black - how utterly, utterly boring.
Can you please put some pics up, anything I take would just detract from this beauteous creation.
