Typicals

Post by Walle »

Comrades!

My beloved wife is the youngest of 11 sisters and brothers. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Two of them (the brothers!) happen to be pipe-smokers, one of these, Heinz, turns 60 on Good Friday. I decided to make him 3 Walle-typicals along with a decent pedestral for his mantle-piece.

I found the piece of driftwood on a beach in County Kerry/Ireland. The pipes I hade to make by myself, though. :wink:

Cheerio!

Cool looking set Walle. It all goes together nicely. You went the extra mile with the placards and the stand and all. A great gift! It's nice to be able to give your pipes away to people who appreciate them. Have I ever mentioned how much I appreciate pipes? :D

I believe you found these pipes washed up on the beach, and then crafted the log on which they rest.
Have I discovered your secret ?

Walle-

My birthday was New Years Eve (34). Since I'm a bit more than half your brother-in-law's age, I believe the math means I should be expecting 1 typical pipe and a partial pedestral, yes?

I'll take one of your sisters on a date if necessary.

My brother-in-laws don't even know when my birthday is. You may just be the coolest brother-in-law in the world, Walle. Awesome gift and set.

Some day I hope to be as creative, looney, artistic and quirky as you. Maybe in my old age :D
