Eh... that might possibly be taking it too far as it pertains to this pipe. It has no reflection on carvers whatsoever as this is a factory made pipe which was simply embellished with jewels, etc. by someone.I think it's ridiculous and it's a smack in the face to exceptional carvers and pipe makers in our history.

By the way, I still can't for the life of me make out what your avatar is? Granted my eyesight leaves much to be desired, but all I can seem to make out is a black square with some orange object in the upper left corner. Then again, it just might possibly be my computer/monitor.
