There certainly is a lot going on.

 

[thesmokindragon]

in the AM ;-)

Very fine job!

I like that a lot. Keeps true to your corn cob style.

Flake stack, never heard that term before.
Interesting creation, SD.

Good job on the pipe, I hope she smokes well for you.
But I think the stem is out of place.
Like an American in China town.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Yeah, agree....it was a scrap stem I wasn't using ;-)

 

[spartan]

Make a briar stem! lol

 

[ohin3]

What do I think? I think you oughta keep carving briar. I dig that pipe.

 

[thesmokindragon]

Thanks brother...I did change that swirl stem out for a solid black

lucite one...BAM! Looks perfect now, thanks for the feedback brothers

Let's see the updated one! I love the shape of the bowl and totally get the flake stack

 

[ohin3]

Would look great with a long thin delicate cumberland.

 

[cigrmaster]

I think it is pretty cool looking. Let us know how she smokes.

 

[brewshooter]

I think, if you make another one you need to let me know...so that I may buy it from you!!

Really like the toasted bamboo shank against the rectangular bowl, and bet it looks great with the black stem.
