Reject No More (Pic Heavy)

Here is a link to the original post. I was not quite sure how I was going to approach all the fills in this pipe. I then decided to just go for it, hope you enjoy.

Gorgeous, I love the natural look of the rustication. Great work!

I would not call that a reject . It has everything including a saddle bit stem .

That came out really well! Interesting that you got rid of the fills, but kept the "reject" stamp. What was the thinking behind that? :puffpipe:

I like it, Good job! :clap:

I kept it to show that not all rejects are really rejects but sometimes hidden gems. Plus I'm planning on selling it at some point, the fills were an eyesore the way they were done.

Nice job! That's funny, it does look like a map.
Care to share your secret on how you did it?

Wow! That is an amazing job you've done with that pipe! It reminds me of Cristiano rustication. Good job!!

It reminds me of Cristiano rustication.

I was thinking the same thing. Nice pipe!

Thanks everyone.
Didimauw I use a round wood bit and randomly cut areas out until I like the shape. This was my first attempt at doing this on a pipe. So I tested out the method on some scrap pipes with cracked bowls.

Hand-held bit, in a drill, or in a drill press?
It really looks awesome.
