A block of Mimmo's wood behaves very nicely. :D

It was headed toward being a realy nice straight grain, but a small flaw got too big for it to be a smooth. I hate it when that happens. :twisted:

Wow! That's some real nice sandblasting there. Beautiful pipe. You got a pretty nice shine on there too for such a craggy pipe. It looks like your buffer took a beating too.

Excellent work, Rad. You can probably get rid of those threads sticking to the briar with a very quick pass through a smokeless flame.
Regards,
Frank.

Sweet pipe Rad. I have been looking at blasting equipment. Not sure if I want to spend the money just yet, but I love the way a sandblast looks.

Wow! Really, really nice! I'm normally not a fan of sandblasts, but this pipe is amazing. Congratulations!

Man that is some nice even grain!
Great job bringing it out. Any birds-eye on the rim?

It's okay is my SF pipe turns out like that! :D
