I thought that was a Weaver. How the hell does one work with a hippo tooth? Fantastic piece

McClellend 40th Anniversary in a Lee Erck Brandy.
It‘s been a day of EPL, eating, and napping. Now that I’ve caught my second wind, I’m heading outside with a bowl of Anthology in a MM Emerald, and a pour of Bardstown Discovery #7. Grateful Dead Europe ‘72 playing on the speakers, while a gentle rain falls.
Happy birthday, @Ag®o!
Cheers!

At a BBQ, smoking Watch City Stubb's Pipe in a Trypis bent acorn.
No kidding. He was certainly nuts for a challenge. He enjoyed working with organic accents like exotic woods and ivory but this is the only example of teeth I've seen. He also had a lot of fun with multi piece stems
and one time cut a disk of lapis lazuli for a mortise.
I've seen that stem before and can't even begin to fathom the process. Just insanity. And how does one cut Lapis Lazuli with that kind of accuracy? I was a stone mason for a decade. My job was cutting rocks and that still baffles me.
I feel like "artisan pipemaker" is an understatement for some of these carvers
Absolutely. I got the one with the lapis after his passing but would love to have heard the story behind it.
LotusEater and @Ag®o, Happy Birth Day guys!!!...
I'm enjoying a glass of tea and a three year aged bowl of Virginia Flake in a P-lip Peterson 93 Kapruf.
My wife is having a bowl of Boswell's Route 22 in a Peterson 999 Atlantic.
The little dude is having a popsicle.

Early evening back to back - 2/3 bowl of Country Squire Rivendell in a Vauen Olaf bent egg (20x46 chamber)
- it didn't taste very good and burned fast and hot. I didn't notice much flavor no matter how slow I tried to smoke it --- I think I just got a bad or unmixed pinch from the bag. Second pipe was a bowl of country Squire Whatever ????? in a rinsed Savinelli Erica Fiamma 128 Billiard with new charcoal filter --- Whatever never fails to please ! Variety of tastes and strong. And ... it slow sips fine and lasts a long time --- in fact 1/2 of it is waiting for me for later and will taste as pleasant ! Good evening to all !!

Squadron Leader, Special Edition, the SG&Co. Va/Per, in a Ser Jacopo blast Dublin with serpentine square shank and saddle stem. Blend courtesy of a Forums member, and pipe bought on SP sale back in 2013.
Gee whiz he was a master of his craft, stunning use of accents.
Smoking Royal Yacht in a Pete B42 in the garden
Half way through this bowl of year 2018 Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight, dark brown early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Braves-Mets game.
