Chicago Pipes

Well, gentlemen. It is 11:00 Wednesday night and my pipes have been finished for 3 hours already! That's a record for me. I'm used to opening the shop door to the early morning sunshine with my finished pipes in hand on the day of the show.
After spending 2 weeks of 15 hour days in a cramped computer carrol and pumping out 60 pages of research and one exam, I spent another week of 18 hour days in a dark shop cranking out pipes. What's my wife look like? Wife? What, or rather, who's that? But, I suppose the time paid off and I have 8 new pipes for the show, bringing the total to 10. Here's a glimpse of what will be there.
Best,
Jeff

The bamboo apple (left, second up) is just my style. Very Nice.
Good luck at the show.

Jeff,
Very very nice pipes! You should make yourself some fine spendin' cabbage with those, up in Chicago.
Have fun and be safe.

Jeff,
Very nice work!!
The lovat, in particular, caught my eye but I do love the traditional shapes.
The sandblast (or rusticated) churchwarden has some quite knobby looking bamboo. Did you round it off or is it as sharpe as it looks in the picture?
Good luck at the show!!

Jeff - Congrats on selling out.
Those were some nice pipes, so I am not surprised.
I guess toting them everywhere was a smart move :thumb:
