Fantastic work George, thanks for sharing.

I like your original. I can't think of many that are making real true 70's style freehands these days. Of course, theres still a billion of them floating around from the 70's.... But it would be kind of neat to see a guy pick it up and run with it again.

There needs to be at least one good pipe in the lineup, so I'm in. Military Mount all the way. If anybody is too broke for a military drill bit, but really wants to participate, I may could loan one out for the project. Of course the consequence for not returning it far outweigh it's monetary value,...

Epoxy in the bowl bothers me, just because of the chemical nature of it. Actually, anything in the bowl would bother me personally but I would have suggested Elmers Wood Glue for the repair. Not because I'd like to smoke it, but Missouri Meerschaum uses something similar to Elmers in their pipes, an...

Cool picture Walt !

Pretty Cool ! Welcome back.

I didn't know crying with us was an option. Can we organize this as a group event in Chicago ? Maybe we can get some tent space Friday night.

Looks good. I remember someone writing that they cut the tobacco in ribbons and toasted it in a pan on the stove with vanilla extract and got a very nice aromatic.

An ACTUAL Backwoods Cigar !

It's actually kind of a neat pipe in person. In pictures it looks pretty funky but kind of cool in person. Someone I was talking to won one in Vegas.
The pipe is made by Tom Eltang via Pia Pipes.

I can see where Georgia maybe ran him out, and he fled south for his life.
