Turned 40, Got Myself a Sweet New Pipe Rack!

[samcoffeeman]

I turned 40 yesterday, passing a milestone with friends and family. I'd been searching for a new rack since my collection has been slowly outgrowing my rackspace, despite my greatest attempts to hold back on PAD. I found this on eBay last week and figured it was worth the price, love the look and the grain on many of the veneer faces is just awesome. It's made by Mastro De Paja:

Here is what the outside veneer looks like, this is the top, but all of the sides are veneer as well.

Very cool! The veneer definitely is pretty. Hold 13, right?

Happy belated birthday, Sam. Sorry I missed it on the day. I hope your next orbit around the sun brings more finds like this one, that's one sweet rack!

Awesome cool!!

13 is correct! I'll post a pic when I fill it, gotta figure out which pipes are going in. One of the reasons I bought this is because it will keep the light out and theoretically my stems won't oxidize so quickly.

Wow that is an amazing rack Sam. Happy Birthday by the way. That would be a perfect rack for Vulcanites, keeping them out of the sun when its closed up. The veneer is amazing.
