Sharp and in general excellent looking! The vertically flat shank is nice. Good work again. :D

By the way, I tried the method displayed in your blog to mix carnauba wax with a solvent to make it possible to apply the wax without a buffing wheel: works fine and produces good enough shine with hand buffing. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! Quite literally "sharp" looking. I love the contrast stain. Keep up the good work.

That's a really great pipe, very sharp design and really good grain, keep on.

I think is more pickaxe than acorn, though...

Great work Félix! Love the shape, but agree it's more of a pickaxe than an acorn. But it's so cool, I don't care what you call it! :)

That is a great looking pipe with a unique shape... I really like the choice of coloring, it seems to add to the shape (very earthy - in a good way).

Well done sir!
