Very handsome piece of wood. How will you keep from darkening that rim?

Spit and thumb technique. And also... it's going to darken.

Beautifully clean line.
Certainly one of the best examples of this shape I've seen.

Beautiful pipe. I have an olivewood pipe. It give a faint taste. Since we use a lot of olive oil in our meals, I don't mind.

Very nice. Love the colors of the wood. Given the foul tastes some bowl coatings give off during break-in, olive oil should be a treat!

That's a great looking pipe Pat. I really like how the grain follows the flow of the stem and shank. A real beauty. ::

Beautiful pipe Pruss.

I looked at the photos before reading your text. I was struck by the precision of the drilling and the beauty of the grain. Great catch. Hope you did not have to sell the farm to buy it but, what the hell, it certainly seems worth it!

You should see him dance. It's grace personified.

Haha, best quote ever. If you ever do see me dancing, please take my car keys. At that point I am far too drunk to drive..
