That's one spectacular cross-cut grain pipe. I can see why it was enjoyed thoroughly by the previous owner. Nice restoration and worth the effort IMO.

Enjoy

Hey Pat,
Great job as always bringing something back from the dead. I agree with Roth that the thickness on that bowl is THIN, to be kind, but as usual the grain just looks fabulous you have to finish it.
Keep up the good work pal.

Thanks gents.
I look forward to bringing this one back.

No kidding! I think that I'm going to have to smoke a tub or two of Carter Hall in this thing in order to build back a safety cake. It's going to be a good fishing pipe for sure. Nothing makes for a slow smoke long a canoe, at dusk.

Now that just sounds like heaven. No canoeing in my general area but can't think of a better way to just let my mind wander. Hey, can you be "lunting" if in a canoe or is there another word for "smoking while paddling"??? :nana:

To my mind, anything occurring in a canoe which isn't, by definition, "canoeing with purpose" can be considered "lily dipping". Which is a good thing when there is a pipe involved.

That pipe is looking fantastic. Shame about the hole, but it looks like you'll have it smokeable. Enjoy it.
