Here is one of my pieces I just call my fishing pipe. I developed it decades ago when I did a lot of fishing. I wanted a full, hands free bent pipe that was easy to tuck into a pocket. This shape fits the bill wonderfully. I have caught many, many fish with mine over the years! . I do not make many of this shape and I do believe this is the first natural blast I have ever made. This is an outstanding piece of 15-20 year old wood. The grain was, and still is beautiful on this piece. If it wasn’t for one small speck it would have been a beautiful smooth piece. You never know in pipe making what a spot will do so I made the decision to blast. While not the beauty of a smooth piece it is still a wonderful natural blast. Hand cut Sky Blue Cumberland mouthpiece w/Delrin tennon, hand made solid sterling silver “Rope” fitment. Thank you very much for looking and your consideration of my work.
