Thanks fellas. The 4th one has a Bolivian Rosewood shank ring and the stem is "Cumberland" acrylic. The last one is one of my favorites too. I call it Ryukin because it was inspired by Ryukin goldfish. The shank end piece is American Holly. Unfortunately, it will be for display only at the show because of a flaw in the tobacco chamber. I decided to finish this one out instead of tossing it on the discard heap because I really like the growth ring pattern. It will stay in my collection.

Muy bueno, sir. #4 & #6 are my favorites, but they all look great.

Looking good, Wayne! And good luck! Wish I had a chance to get to Chigago. Unfortunately a bit difficult and expensive from South Africa. One day!

Beautiful work on them all! The last one is my favorite. I'm sure it will sell at the show. PM me about a clone, I'd like to have one.
Good luck at Chicago!
Chas.

Personally, I like the third one but if you go flashing these photos around, you're likely to get some offers you can't refuse and end up with an empty table at The Show.

I have a Crosby but I wouldn't sell it. It's my new favorite pipe.

Very nice work Wayne. Is the first one a reverse calabash system or standard tenon?
Brian.

Standard tenon but I'll have to try the reverse calabash on this style at some point. Folks keep asking me if it has one.
Thanks for the kind words everyone.
