Hello. Today has finished here such pipe. Drilling of the smoke channel occurred from two parties. The cleaner passes without problems. Other photos on my site http://www.senatorov.lv/dmeng.html
Beautiful Oliphant! Drilled the draught hole from the chamber to meet the one from the mortice. The chamber from the pictures look HUGE! Is it 1 inch? I would figure it would be to facilitate the 160 degree angle. Nice job! My only reservation would be that it might not smoke that well.
Am I the only one wondering how one pipemaker can crank out so many magnificent pipes? It takes me longer to develop a design I think is worth making than it takes you to design, complete and photograph one.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The quality, finish and beauty of the designs remain consistently high. Man, such talent.

Frank.
