How I spent my Christmas vacation!

It was fun!

 

[krgulick]

Look like a pair of beauties.

 

[buckeye]

real nice work. glad you got your pipe making stuff back out.

 

[jcsnaps]

Those are great. Do you start from scratch or use a kit?

 

[cortezattic]

:lol: ... and all along I thought you were utterly talentless. :lol:

 

[duncan]

Wow, just Wow

 

[igloo]

Uncle you make Geppetto look like a novice . Very nice work I shall ask for snow up your way more often .

 

[unclearthur]

Started off with some plain blocks screwed up one and these were the next two . Thanks guys ! Naw Cortez just mostly useless! LOL

 

[jship079]

WOW! those are beautiful with those skills why buy a pipe? Do you turn them on a lathe or grind them by hand? Those have really nice grain also were do you get your block?

 

[patiobum]

Nice pipes Uncle Arthur !! You have talent.
I like the straight billiard ?

 

[puffintuff]

Nice work, you have the skills.

 

[winton]

Obviously you have worked hard to gain the skills to produce work like this. Looks great.

Jship, I don't have my lathe set up to turn pipes , so these were shaped mainly with a sanding disk. I picked up the briar on ebay from a fellow in Germany. Have another bunch on the way. To all the rest who have been so kind . Again thanks. I guess working with wood since about 1965 has paid off fairly well with aq fair skill set.

 

[bogie]

Those are nice! And definitely to be proud of.

 

[pipetrucker]

I really like the top one. How much for it?

 

[thomc80]

Those are some beauties. I especially like the top one.

 

[buckeye]

could you post how you drill your holes. getting ready to order briar blocks.

 

[buck67]

Very good Uncle.

 

[unclearthur]

Mason. PM me . I am about to start drilling the last block I have on hand and would make one like the little acorn for you if you want. I am breaking in the one in the photo as I type.

 

[collindow]

Very nice! I can't wait to get home and order me a block of briar, though whatever I end up with won't be anywhere near as beautiful as those.
