Default My finished PIPE!!!

Well its all done after long days of work!! My first ever wood carving project!! Briar wood pipe. Absolutely no power tool used from the beginning to the end. Used a carving knife and sand papers to shape it. For the finish Dark red mahogany stain and beeswax polish. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Hopefully my second one will be better! Happy 2012 ppl!!

Looks good to me! I haven't smoked in roughly 40 years, but my judgement on a pipe was not only how it smoked but how it felt in my hand. I think that if a pipe feels good in the smoker's hand it passes the test. And that is a very personal judgement. How's it feel in your hand???

That is a pretty looking pipe!
