#0902 and #0903

Post by Charl »

I finished these over the weekend. This time both of them are for me. Had a customer whose pipe's shank apparently cracked (haven't seen it yet) while breaking it in, so I want to see for myself.
Any case, please feel free to give me the ugly!

I know your finances are currently pretty meagre, but this is about as cheap as it gets: http://www.parkspipes.com/briar.htm
Obviously, buying just one block won't be economical, but 10 blocks for $30 plus shipping to SA shouldn't be too expensive. Perhaps you could share costs and split an order with Olivier. If SA still has those ridiculous import fees and restictions, it could screw things up, so look into that first.
Regards,
Frank.

I really like the placement of the grain pattern.

Very nice pipe. IMHO, I like the placement of the logo.

Very nice work, Charl. Looks like you're finally finding some decent wood without so many flaws. I also notice a big improvement in symmetry and shaping with these two. Very nice.

Thanks, Wayne. Always good to hear that there is some (if very little!) improvement. At least I know that I am going somewhere.
