I believe what you're looking for is the "stinky ebonite thread." It should provide you with all the information you could possibly want, and then some.

Cool, let me look it up

Love that thread. Very educational.

Of all the other threads on this forum, that's the one I learned the most from.

That's a thread for the ages. It's like a pipe making lesson given by Monty Python's Flying Circus.

If I wasn't before I am now a Todd Johnson groupie, that thread was classic

I can't believe I read the whole thing

It's a disaster that you just can't look away from. I reread it yesterday and can't help but wonder if that was or at least nearly was the breaking point for a few carvers who were still around the boards then but who haven't been around for some time.

I am glad that M has moved on to selling such amazing pipes for up to 15,000 dollars, who would have though we were in the presence of such greatness

If I may, "offering" would be a more fitting word than "selling" here.

I believe the official definition of the word selling is "to sell or attempt to sell something"

IMO there is a difference between Valuable art that the value is based on the desire of the connoisseur to own said art ( example van Goh, Dhali)
and the value put on art by the artist who thinks he is worthy of a van Goh price

I'm not trying to be (more) contentious (than usual), but for the sake of clarity, please read this. I humbly submit to you that neither 2 nor 3 hold.

Regardless, I protest both the implication and the possibility that someone (to borrow a Bush-ism) mis-understand-ifies you.

Well, I hate to point out the slight brain trauma you have incurred by the constant barrage of Sas' behemoth sized pipes upon your skull, but in the link you presented it does in fact say that selling is "trying to sell". And I would point out that it is commonly understood that people selling a product have no promise that they will succeed in said sale. For instance, Ernie went to the pipe show to sell his pipes. And though he was selling his poor little heart out, he did not in fact make one sale. (please note this was a fictional story, any resemblance to real life characters or events was merely accidental)

Fuck all you guys! Quick, Kurt! Close the thread!

Holy Shit!!!! That only took me two days to read.......

And we are totally talking "potato, potato" (I'll let you figure that one out) on the "selling" issue. Same thing, just a different word to describe what's going on.

I think we've had a bit of the caustic nature of that thread jump into you boys. Or is it nap time??

[the rev]

oh are you gonna come mother us now?

I am still sick and kinda grumpy

rev

Sorry Ernie

[scotties22]

God no.....I've got my own brood to attend to. Just merely an observation.
