Those are really nice James. Each one is quite well done, but I like the horn the most.

Nice pipes James. How do you do the inlays? Thanks

[AlfaDog]

Very nice carving.

[jogilli]

Thanks... for the inlay. I draw a circle around the mortise with a compass and carefully cut it out with an exacto knife.. it takes about 7 hours to get it completely round. just take your time and it will work out..

or you can look here http://jsecpipes.com/PhotoGallery/index ... ch%2Ftools

for something along this line.. and it takes about 20 seconds .. just push the stummel on to the guide and it cuts the ring

Very nice as usual, James. You have a discernable style that is easy to pick out of a line-up. I think that's a tough thing to accomplish with so many pipes and makers on the market today.

So true, Wayne.
A couple of nice ones, James. I especially like the 1st.
