Long Golden Flake... Forever and always.

Enjoying Skiff mixture in a Nording signature.

I know you posted this a while back but I thought I would suggest you try out Sillem's Black. Sounds like it may be exactly what you are looking for.

Thanks, I'll look into that. I really like SPC.

I used to but over the years I lost interest. Would be fun to go back and look at some of the numbers.

Hello, it's been quite a few years since I've been in this forum. I've had an illness that kept me from this hobby that I love some so much but all that matters is that I'm back and it's good to be back.

Thanks for the info Kurt.

I'm interested in seeing this guys pipes (Random). Does he have a name I can Google? Or a website? I don't want to talk trash about anyone I'm just curious what type of pipes he's making.

David. I'm just curious...Who is this Random character I keep hearing about? I see people replying ...

Thanks for your help guys!

I was wondering if anyone could share with me how "shank caps" are executed. I'm gonna use a picture of a pipe by Tyler (please let me know if I'm way out of line here.) http://tylerlanepipes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/IMG_0247-574x268.jpg I understand how extensions work and all but I...
