Well sir, just think of it this way: When you're finally ready to offer your pieces for sale, you're probably already sold out for a while! LOL! But seriously, that last pot was really beautiful.

That is really something else @Silver , an absolutely gorgeous pipe. How long have you been making pipes?Silver wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 10:40 pm Spent some time in the workshop last week and finished this one on Saturday. It's a little, rusticated pot with smooth rim, bowl edge and shank end. Similar to the Christmas pipes I made recently. This one's stain russet (more brown with a touch of red) and and natural rim, bowl edge and shank end. This one will get a mating 1/4 bent billiard with sloped rim. Hope to get that one finished tomorrow.

Thanks! I did a kit block in March-ish of 2021 that was a Christmas gift in 2020 from my daughter and son-in-law. Then I got interested in doing another in January of this year. Got a few more pre-drilled blocks and better files. As they started to look more like real pipes, I started buying blocks (and tools) and doing the whole thing on my own (probably around April this year).Big Iron wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 6:56 pmThat is really something else @Silver , an absolutely gorgeous pipe.

In the meantime, here's a photo of the Grabow Commodore from ebay. I'm really pleased with it. It's got nice grain behind the blast, good color, some heft to it. The bowl is in fantastic condition and it smells good, with a nice taper at the bottom. Even the stem and button are in great shape.

Gotta like a sandblasted Poker! I don't see these pop up too often. I bid pretty strongly on one awhile back, but someone wanted it more. Mine's out there somewhere.Puff nstuff wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 9:51 pm In the meantime, here's a photo of the Grabow Commodore from ebay. I'm really pleased with it.
