That pipe is wonderful! Sorry about the loss, but that pipe will remind you of them and happy times when you smoke it!

Excellent workmanship, as usual.
I'm sure you have heard about the newest non shrink molds? They are clear and my caster uses them.
Great new product.
Sorry for your loss.

That's a truly distinctive pipe, with metal work, the unique stem, and jewels. I've debated with myself whether jewels

have a place on a pipe, and other adornments of various kinds. For example, I'm not favorable when they do the little

metal plaques announcing that a pipe is the pipe of the year. But this situation is entirely different, in that the jewel settings

and metal work are done by you, in memoriam for your family members. In that situation, all of the extra work on the

pipe, and the exotic materials are entirely appropriate. I don't think I'd ever be working with sapphires or rubies; I've

more pondered semi-precious stones, and whether they would "go" as additions to pipes, just as decoration. I'm still

unsure. I like the expense put into the actual pipe materials as a general practice. But that's a different question.

Beautiful work and tribute here.

Heartfelt condolences on your loss.

Congratulations on your creativity and craftsmanship.
In my view the pic that favors the pipe best is the one with you smoking it.
