I just finished this bulbous Christmas Pipe. I wanted to make it round and jolly as it should be. I had a fat Santa pictured with skinny little legs as you might see in a cartoon drawing.
The stem is hand cut mother of pearl acrylic. It doesn't show well in these pictures, but in the light it really looks nice. It's also quite a bit more red in real life.
**UPDATE** I just got some slightly better pics with a real camera. The iPhone images weren't cutting it for me.
As always, any critique is welcome and happily accepted.
Too Early for a Christmas Pipe? :)

Re: Too Early for a Christmas Pipe? :)
Ha, yeah, I've managed to get about 5 so far. They're not without their issues, but I'm still having fun. I've got about 3 more smooths to put up once they're complete. Keep in mind...a "smooth" to me would be very "rough" for you I'm sure.RadDavis wrote:You're getting smooth pipes out of that briar I sold you!!??

PS. I guess I took the good with the bad. Here's a quick photo of some more briar I bought from you. I think there's a bottom to that hole...but I haven't found it yet
