I'm not afraid to say it. Smoking a pipe makes me feel pretty! :lol!:

Thank you all. I had a very nice birthday.

:lol: :lol: :lol:   Why is it that women never seem to understand good humor?

Thank you gentlemen. Todd

Just finished this commission piece and I thought I would share. I believe that this is the biggest pipe I have ever made. Length:  7.5 in Height:  3 in Bowl Di:  1 in Bowl Depth:  1 1/8 in Thanks for looking. Todd

It's not a VaPer, but Dunhill Flake is a very pleasant straight Virginia.

If you had only left well enough alone...

Very nice!

Ron, I never would have pegged you as the fruity type! :lol: 8) :lol: 8) :lol: 8) :lol:

Here are my offerings for this year. See you there! Todd

A battery operated hand drill and a 1/16" drill bit works great, but you have to be careful to keep your holes perfectly vertical or your stitching ends up slanted. A drill press works even better. And Timbo is right. You need a piece of backing wood. Todd

I'll be there. Been working hard to finish a batch of pipes for the show. Todd

Thanks guys. By the way, the shank adornment is Bigleaf Maple Burl. Todd

All, I just finished this one.  This is my first pipe with a burl ring adornment on the shank. The burl was provided by Blackhorse but, unfortunately, I can't remember what kind of wood it is. Take a look and let me know what you think. Todd

Very nice!

Ron, You should be taking notes. :P All, Thanks for the kind words.
