Very nice pipe I like how the rustication stops at the rim and the end of the stem.

 

[uberam3rica]

Very nice, top notch as always. I love this pipe.

 

[olderthandirt]

And the hits they just keep a comin'!

You have the rustication well in hand pentangle.

This is a great piece...I love a big pipe that have heavy rustication like this...top notch stuff.

 

[schmitzbitz]

Thats some awesome rustication, it looks more "natural" if you will than most examples of heavy rustication I've come across (read - visible and obvious tool marks).

 

[chopz]

ok how was it done? in a tumbler? did you leave extra material on what was to be the polished surfaces and remove it later, or did you mask them off? i knownothing about such things but i'd like to learn when i can.

Beautiful pipe!!! ::

 

[pentangle]

I used a chisel with a "V" shape turned on briar always on right.Smoth parts have been sanded before rustication then resanded after the dark stain to get clear briar again.At finally smooth parts have been stained with a acool aniline mix, made by walnut,yellow and mahogany.Rusticated needs usually no wax,but shellac and so i done.

[markw4mms]

Fantastic job! I haven't seen a pipe of your's yet that I didn't love.

 

[tslex]

WOW do I like that.
"Craggy." That's the key.

 

[philip]

Very well done, Maurizio. I expect to start seeing your picture in some of these pipe shows.

You seem to have a gift for this sort of thing.

 

[sjpipesmoker]

nice pipe...
wondering if this is just a hobby for you? or are you a professional pipe maker?
I have a few pipes with that style of rustication...I love how it feels in my hand...a bit of added grip...

 

[ace57]

Job very well done, looks nice.

 

[jasongone]

That is some very nice texture sir.

I have recently added some off those small v shaped chisels to my arsenal. This helps motivated me to play with those.

"wondering if this is just a hobby for you? or are you a professional pipe maker?"

No my friend don't like at the moment come into the business, fun will fly as the the smoke from a pipe.But i don't know the future so nothing is impossible but simply difficult
