Randomly met someone a while back who worked at a pipe factory in the early 80's. She had a couple blocks that have been wrapped up in her garage since then that she just gave to me. Here's the first two I finished. Hefty pipes. What do yuh'all think?

Sorry that this first pic is a little blurry

Right on, those pipes are very nice, they seem to be pretty large, I'd hate to pry but I'm curious as to their actual size and perhaps weight. I like the artistry.
