Super job!!

I really like your pipe. What kind of tool do you use for the rusting? Does the shellac give the pipe breathing problems? So many people say not to use shellac.

Very nice. Nice look and dimension. I am going to have to give this pipe making a try soon. Maybe we should have an annual PM Pipe Making Challenge. We could different categories and classes.

the shellac is a flake shellac used and recommended by pipe makers. i have several pipes and sold 4 pipes with this on. no problems. it`s not the stuff you buy at the hardware store. i use a tool i made called the gouger for the rustic work.thanks

The best part of having no talent, is enjoying the labours of other peoples talents! Great job, rusticated finishes are my favorite by far!

Impressive as always Dave. Now smoke the entire contents of that jar in less than an hour and we'll be even more impressed! :lol:
