Re: Smoke rings

Hi again! When I read all your comments I must say that I get confused of some of them. Why do you think that "legs are being pulled"? Well... Í am fully aware that some of my pipes is not in level as most of yours and perhaps my knifes, I do have a long way to go yet. But likewise as I so...

Re: Smoke rings

Thanks for good criticism. Made a few changes and its now sold fore good money to a happy pipe smoker.
The steamer is made of stabilized wood so I think it works fine.

Re: "Fire in the hat"

I am not sure about the toxicity of Masur Birch. I do know that it is not suitable for pipe smoking. It will burn very easily compared to briar. It also does not hold up to the constant change in heat and moisture like briar does. The toxicity is no problem at all ( use it all the time in our outdo...

"Fire in the hat"

I've seen so many nice and funny skull pipes when surfing around at the net. Decided to make my own version of it.

Re: Chimney sweeper

How much did you sell it for? I got $180 for it... cM I am really disappointed. I do not do this usually on a public forum, but I feel the need to on this one. 1. You still have bark on the plateau! - Not saleable! 2. The stem is very poorly finished. 3. There are highly visible scratches or very u...
