i was totally stumped as to why my stem/shank wasn't lining up, but that's exactly why. i guess i need to get a decent forstner for this operation.

Robert, I don't know if you found this post on gardenweb's forum or not when you were googling, but this might provide you with a few leads. It looks like the flower might be part of a wildflower mix you can find. Trouble there would be identifying the seed and/or growing all of them and isolating t...

i'll echo some of the previous comments in that i think it's a beautiful work of art but not a pipe i would smoke from. the wood is striking and design is very unique and i'm sure you will find a happy buyer for it.

it shows. another beauty, nice job.

i think you're being a bit too harsh on your own work. it's a nice looking pipe, interesting shape and nicely formed. i agree with the suggestion to sand it back down and contrast stain it, but that's just me. not to hijack an answer, but pennyscot: the hut plastic polish is used by turners (and oth...

another beauty. you're really cranking them out right now.

brilliant pipe. really a nice shape and very well executed, as always.

sorry about your troubles... hate it when that kinda stuff happens...

nice pipe though. a different sort of shape but it works well. the finish and carnauba look nice. good work.

stellar, the whole lot. nice work as always.

i think that's a fine looking pipe. i love the white stem with it. i'd say for freehanding the rings, they look pretty sharp. obviously the lathe will improve them. nice job.

those look stellar. can't wait to see how it all cures for you... that's the next adventure. i can't believe how much those things grow when it gets hot. great work.

looks great senatorov. nice job once again!

that is simply brilliant. great work.

i think that's a really cool pipe. i know the desire of the smooth looking inside of the stem, but it's going to turn brown/black soon anyway, right? i like how you went outside the box with this one. good work.

very cool design. great work.

that looks great. is a blast like that more a result of application technique or of the wood giving up grain easier in certain lines than in others?

really nice work.

another beauty, fantastic work.

Frank, i ordered a few of these, thanks for the heads up. they just got here and i think it's a pretty decent little lighter. made in china, but what ain't nowadays except our pipes! and i don't know if yours are the exact same or not, but the ones i got appear to be refillable. for the price, they'...

i'd have a really hard time not giving that one a smoke.
