Absolutely outstanding! Shocking, as none-pipeish as it can be but somehow I adore your creations. Kudos!

If i didn't know that a master carver designed this unique naturally looking pipe,i would assume that mother nature brought it through centuries of evolution into this world.

Amazing birdseye !

Awesome pipe! Is that a sandblasted finish or another method?

Nope, no sandblasting, but I won´t tell you how it works, you "miserable competitors" :lol: :lol: :lol:
Well, it depends ... You might buy me some booze next time we meet - in Chicago or elsewhere. I´ll sure get narrative then :mrgreen:

I know his secret--and I will tell:

He obviously uses a really tiny dremel to carve each tiny crevice into each pipe.

I can't believe you guys couldn't tell ;).

I thought he focused his mind on the pipe so hard that it simply formed itself according to his will.

Is that not true? I feel so disillusioned...

I figured he just deprived the briar of calcium until it developed osteoporosis :roll:

Really great work. Truly original.

If Walle ever decides to harness his power for something more worthwhile than making pipes then the world could be at peace.
