You really made that grain in that pipe SING !! The shape, proportions and finish ALL equal a DAMN FINE looking pipe ! If this is just your sixth pipe I'd say you are well on your way !! :cheers: :cheers:
3/4" bore on a mini block I got from Steve at VTfreehand. Thanks for the comments all! I used a light mahogany alcohol based stained as a base, sanded then a light oak over that then buff polish wax.
Very nice indeed, one thing though, I'd get that bark off the Plateaux before too long, the Plateaux will really 'pop' once it is off, excellent work and a wonderful idea for an unusual shape, I love it, bravo. :cheers: :cheers:
