This year I started 4 and was able to finish them all (last year I started 5 and finished 2)
A large Canadian
a sandblast Dublin
a bent egg
and an oval shanked billiard
As I did last year, my recipient gets his choice.

I may not be able to ship immediately because I will be away, but delaying the shipping date is OK with me.

Alright, so for whoever hasn't posted that they are done yet, I'll be reaching out to you via PM to confirm participation, and I'll be updating the list accordingly.
Guys, I'm going to bow out. I think I was probably overly ambitious at this stage. Having problems and time constraints completing the replacement stem for my piece...and it doesn't really fit the PITH criteria. I've learned so much in my several attempts at a classic oval shank. I'm grateful for the push trying the PITH has given me. There are some fantastic entries. So much to learn..and doing it with a smile on my face. Peace all.

And here it is!
The procedure now is that you will send your pipe to the person below you on the list and you will receive a pipe from the person above you, and it is yours to keep. Get in touch with each other and exchange mailing addresses and such. After receiving your pipe, take the time to examine it closely, smoke it a few times, and offer a thorough critique to the person who made it. If there's any issues, pm me and we'll get it figured out. If you are not on this list, it is because you dropped out, or I did not receive a response from you. If you are done, but not on the list, please contact me TODAY and I will work you into the list.

I have messaged both my recipient and originator, my pipe is in the mail.
