What does the wall rack say?

"Life is a smoke"

I've been in the process of making one for several months now (lack of time and motivation). Going to be a two tier thing, 3 on top tier and 4 on bottom. I have a grand design in mind that's ridiculously fancy using hard maple, mahogany and leather. I actually just drilled the first part the bowl rests. I actually already made this piece but in testing, the pipes were too close together for my taste. I have at least found the stain I want to use on the mahogany (the maple will be left natural).


In the meantime, I just have an inexpensive 5-pipe stand from KAFpipe that I bought on Amazon:

Accurately translated is “Life Is A Smoke” but closer to the actual meaning is ‘Life Is But Smoke’. It is a Memento Mori. The symbol at the bottom center is a stylized Angel of Death and the outline is a wisp of smoke (signifying that life is fleeting). Back when this was made the average life span was about 50 y/o (and in most cases, much less) so this would have had great meaning to that generation of pipe smoker. I look at this saying every morning to remind myself that life is short so I must Get To Work and make the most of it. It is by far my favorite smoking accessory. Thanks for asking.

It's Dutch and I really like it a lot

My house is on the small side so space is at a premium. I installed shelves on the underside of a staircase. They hold about 25 open blends and about 25 pipes.

FYI it's for sale in Austin Texas. Both cabinet and humidor, like new for $250. If I were close to it I might buy, but I'm not and I understand the seller won't ship.
