Whenever, is fine with me.

As done as it's going to get. A little Walle, a little Geiger, a little Lovecraft. etc.

Hey Brandon,
some very interesting design emerges in this work,the moment i saw your pipe the picture of the goddess of fertility from ancient history emerged before my eyes .


Congrats, you implemented beautifully the ancient tendencies in this pipe!

Best,
Abi

Thank you Abi. My wife said something similar but not quite so eloquently. I believe the word boobies was used LOL. With it being "nautical" I also thought from the top it also looked like part of the carved female figure at the bow of an old sailing ship.

Sadly, I must withdraw My briar proved to be unworthy in the final stages. But I do intend to use this design on a later pipe. *sigh*
Nice pipe bandkbrooks! I like the symetry as well as the overall design kudos!

Brandon,

(Man, I envy you for your first name ... !) Many unusual ideas brought together in a very small pipe. Erotic curves, bumps, boobs, triangles, GROTTOS. What does it smell like?
Love it!

Cheerio!
Walle

Thank you guys. Walle I looked at some of your older designs from a pipe shop website across the pond. As for the smell...why it smells like Hugh Heffner of course.

Oh gracious forum master. Hath the drawing taken place?

Haaallooooo !!!

Is there anybody?

My pipe is not going to be done in time. I had planned on working on it this weekend but my wife came down with the flu and I had to herd the younguns.

Just got back in from a trip to Milwaukee, loaded up and headed put for cabin camp with my son, then straight from camp to Lacrosse practice, finish shoveling snow off of sidewalks.......I think I can sit down for a couple of minutes.

First pipe blew up, second (much tamer design) not as nice as I wished but was finished in time. I will try to post a picture tonight.

Wayne, I'm sure whoever gets your name would be happy to wait a while until it is finished.  I know I don't mind waiting, so for those not finished I don't think withdrawal is necessary.

I agree. This trade has been a lot of fun so far (even before we have sent the pipes) I wouldn't mind waiting at all for some of you guys who need a little extra time and would like to stay in.

Don't rush it guys. No need an' no good gettin' done in a hurry!

Also agree! Don't withdraw yet guys.

I haven't made any drawing yet, so if you guys need a week or so, I don't have a problem with it. I'd rather give it a week and have a few more guys in the trade.

I agree. The more the merrier. I can definitely wait another week.

Kick ass! I'll bust balls this week and get mine finished

Woo hoo. It's a party.

Here is what I have to bring to the party. Not as nice as what many of you have but I hope its acceptable.
