Does anyone recognize the venue? Some kind of a time trial? Hill climb? Steve

All I know is that if you buff it, the wood will warm up and it will get bigger. Steve

. I've only worked for two corporations, but a few of the charts shown at this link ring true for me. http://www.businessinsider.com/big-tech-org-charts-2011-6 This one is my favorite though. I've been on the second rung from the top, and I believe I caught more of it than what is shown here...

I just visited this pipe maker's web site and I really like everything that is on display. By any chance do you do the pipe photography for the Noske web site? They are exceptional photos. Steve

. Several years ago I replaced the fabric driver's seat of my Toyota truck with a Recaro seat. I stored the original seat in a cardboard box in my garage. Yesterday I noticed the bottom of the box looked eaten away. I lifted some cotton rags that were on top of the box and - YIKES!! - there...

I think I do this a lot just from normal exhalation while clenching my pipes. Smoke always gets blown out the bowl. Every once in a while I say "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers", and that helps. Steve

I've washed my hair with dish washing liquid for as long as I can remember. Cheaper than shampoo and works just as well. Steve

Shallow tooth indentations or scratches can be buffed out, or nearly out, of vulcanite stems, and even with harder stems they can be made less visible by buffing. I smoke hands free a lot. For me the most important factor has been to keep only light weight pipes and don't go too long on stem...

On my computer, the current Jones pipes you linked to look a lot redder than my pipes in person, but you are correct that its mainly on the rim that the photos look redder. Steve

Pipes made by David Jones and sold new on Ebay tend to be hefty chunks of wood. That is based only on two pipes that I have owned, but his Ebay photos suggest that large pipes are his style. I bought the two below from Ebay for under $100 each. Most of the time he has 2-3 pipes for auction...

I bought a bag of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture (from bulk) the other day. I like it. Here is a photo of it: http://www.smokingpipes.com/tobacco/by-maker/mac-baren/bulk/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=10778 In the hand and in the pipe it reminds me of a tinned tobacco I used to buy years ago, but I...

I have an ashtray with a cork, but never use it. Since I smoke mainly when driving, I just stick my pipe out the window and let the wind do the job. steve

Two gorgeous Dogs. Nice photos too! Is the second one also a Nielsen? Steve

Grade inflation, plus the prices have gotten out of hand. Pipes with grain that would not have merited a certain grade in the old days, are now being marketed in that grade, and at outrageous prices, at least on Ebay which is where the majority of the new US stock seems to be retailed these...

Yep...this time its a car floor mat draped between me and the wheel. At the time of purchase I did wonder if I'd like the partial rustication treatment, but it has grown on me. Steve

. Here's a James Upshall B I picked up in the mid '90s. It has just been cleaned up, so time for photos! . . .

. Here's a nice little Acorn I picked up at the Pipe & Tobacco Shop near the university campus in Little Rock, AR a few years back. I bought this as a vacation memento. Enjoy! . . .

. As of this month, David Johnson (Ozark Mountain Briars) has ceased making pipes due to wood dust allergies. I own 6 or 7 of his pieces. David's work was right up there among the best of US pipe makers in my opinion, and I will greatly miss his output. He had an elegant, neoclassical style...
