Smoking pipe

[masso]

Hello,
this is a smoking pipe, carved with little leaves. I carved it 1 month ago, but I decided to submit in the forum, even if it isn't a new work.
The pipe is all hand made (the piece has been made by a professional pipe maker, while the chip carving has been made by me). This is also my first pipe where I use my new brand (you can see it in the photo 6a_resize)
I hope you like it.
Ciao da Massimo

Masso-Some good relief carving in some hard wood. Do you use power or hand?

Masso,
I like the leaves on your pipe. What kind of wood is it?

Thank you for posting your photos. I can't wait to see your next project.

mmm....i don't know in english....in italian is "radica di erica arborea", that is the hardest part of the root of a tree...
Erica arborea - Wikipedia
