Here's the Acrylic's I made. So far this is ALL of the acrylics I've made!
Big pain in the butt they are.


This one I call
"Big Pain in the Butt"

And this one is
"Big Pain in the Butt Returns"

And Two more of the Anlter ones with my new Brass Feet. . .

Breath taking, but it is hard to judge their size from the pictures. How long are they?
Fumo in pace :pipe:

Thanks ckr,

They're 3" long and 1/2" wide
The natural Antler ones are give and take but always in that range.

Now if I can just get my hosting company to fix their server you could see the rest??

Uhm, They were a pain in the butt to make or are they possibly misusable in some ways that might cause some sort of pain…

Well, I suppose if left in the wrong place then yes they could literally be a pain in the butt!!
But in this case (thank god) I mean that only figuratively.

They're just difficult to make since I don't have a lathe and shape them on a sanding pad on my drill, Plus to make matters worst, the stock I purchase is for pens so it's twice the diameter of what will fit in a tobacco bowl so a ton of it has to come off.

So all in all what I’m saying is this may very well be my last two!
Still I do like the looks of them but Ming’s pretty much sewed up that market anyways?
