Aug 10th is fine, mine should be finished in a day or two

Ok, I think I'm done. Probably? Maybe just one more buff..

Well I’m now on PITH #3. #1 & #2 both had issues. Trying to meet the deadline but I may be a few days late- here is a progress/proof of life photo.

That's looking great. I love that style of dublin but haven't tried one - I can't ever get the lines to look right when I try drawing them.

Finally got round to finishing mine:

Ha! Can't say I've ever seen that before! Good job!

Thanks!
Credits go to Chris Kelly (Eldritch pipes) for his groundbreaking work with resin casting on pipes. That's what gave me the idea.

I finally got my PITH pipe done! Still a couple of scratches to get out and a last good buff, and she's ready to go! Thanks for the extra time, fellas!

Okay! I'm done.

Ooh that's pretty!

I’ll be updating the list of completed pipes soon. Please send me a message if you can’t make the deadline but are close.

Will be finished today

I love your pipe seamonster, I saw it on Instagram and hoped that it for PITH.

Here is mine, I'll probably be done by 15th of August

My pipe is finished and ready to be shipped out. Any critique is greatly appreciated.

Here's a couple more photos showing the plateau

Here is my 2019 PITH. Unfortunately I’m on vacation until the 18th, so I’ll ship it once I get back. The technical flaws are very obvious to me,... I attempted a few pipes that were a bit outside my skill level,...,and came back to something that felt a bit more comfortable. At last I felt a bit more defeated. During the finishing of this pipe I started another ( completely unrelated to pith) and a lot of the lessons learned, and defeat, turned into more patience with myself and paying closer attention to detail. All in all, I’m happy with my pith. It’s maybe my 11th pipe I’ve made ... and only the 4th stem I’ve ever made. I hope it smokes well for who ever gets it. Cheers-Matt Macri

My PITH pipe is finished. Been having trouble uploading photos. Not sure if these links will work...
