Outstanding!

Did you sandblast it or use some kind of metal brush to get that nice finish?

James, I don't know why, but I think that is my favorite pipe of yours to date. Everything just seems to fit. When I look at the pipe I don't see any individual components, just one, well crafted, smoking implement. Absolutely spectacular job. :thumbsup:

I assume this one is going to Lohmar as well? I'm fighting really hard not to make you on offer on this one. :lol:

Sounds like a very polite way of saying "I'm not tellin' :D " I'm in sales, I know question deflection when I see it. :wink:

Cool pipe. I've been considering making something similar for a friend of mine who is that camper type. I think this look definitely has it's place.

Bulls don't lay eggs, stupid. Only cows do.

I like the pipe.
Hope this helps.

I'm with Ocelot; I think that's my favorite of yours so far. I really like the rustication. It really does look like a light sandblast. Nice work, James.

That. Is. Awesome. The way you described it has me reaching for my pocket book. Seriously, let me know if you want to sell it pre-show and your price. :)
