unfortunately the dust is a problem here - a huge one... have to get something antistatic to wipe those mouthpieces in future a bit better...

Excellent work! I like very much the shank rings.
I have the same problem with the dust!

a friend of mine told me to try those wipes for glasses... will try them...

Great pipes! I especially like the first one!!
On the rhodesian I'm thinking that maybe the ebonite/acrylic ring on the mouthpiece, towards the bowl, could have been a little bit thinner to make the two rings more similar in thickness, like on the first one.
But great work! Also; I will try the glasses-wipes on my pipes as well!

Wow, I really must say that while all your pipes are excellent, these two are a bit more traditional than your usual fare. The first one really wants to come home with me! The stain is so vibrant. Excellent job!

Beautiful pipes. I especially like the shank adornments on the first. What are the wafer thin white-ish rings? Holly? Nice work as usual.

don't know the name of that wood but it is a wooden ring...
less than 1mm thin...

The birds-eye on that first one makes me feel like I'm climbing the rope in gym class.

2 of my favorites from you for sure!

Those are really off the beaten path... for you! They look fantastic. Great work!

K, so I gotta say- like everyone else. I love the rings you got in the first pipe. Makes me want to do better with mine... bravo!

Very pretty. I like the stummel of the 2nd and the stem of the 1st. Very nicely done.
