nice pictures
I think if you included the full reflections on the upside down pictures, you could get both views into one picture, thereby saving electricity, space, and ultimately, the world.

Do you ever have issues with your buttons breaking? Cus' that is one slim button! If you don't have any issues with it- thats awesome!

That is one beautiful pipe. I think that's the best pipe I've seen of yours. Incredible!

Looks great. No critique from me. Nice job. Out of curiosity, is it safe to assume that your extension is attached to your stem, and not your shank?
Nice job.

Thanks, guys.
Never had any problems with a button "breaking", and never thought it would.
The insert is indeed part of the stem and also looks much nicer in real life. It has amazing grain.

I'll add that I like your photo setup. It makes for very attractive photo's that really show off and highlight the pipe.

Aye the photo setup is nice! You ought to look into methods for getting dust off the glass though, I've heard of anti static sprays? I've tried shooting on glass and always been frustrated by the dust specks.

Oh the damn dust!
I clean the surface, take the pic, look up and there it was again!
The anti-static might be an idea. Or maybe the stuff used to clean camera lenses.

Yeah Charl, I'll let you know if I figure out a way to nuke dust- otherwise maybe you'll have to touch it up in photoshop.

If you have time for photoshop, you have WAY too much time
! I don't even have enough time for making pipes!

Maybe you can build a vacuum chamber to do your photo shoots.

Besides, it's better than the lint beards that my pipes grow when I try to take pictures of them.
