My first volcano....

[Crafty]

Well, I killed most of the day getting this finished while I had Easter dinner cooking.... :face: I really thought this shape was a challenge. Getting a smooth continuous curve was a lot different than other pipes I've tried to make. I think the grain came out pretty well in the staining process as well. Thoughts? Thanks for looking.

Turned out nicely, with some amazing birdseye on the bottom!

Man I knew that was going to turn out nice but holy he double hockey sticks! It's an absolute gem. I love the way the stain came out. The grain just pops, and that Birdseye is amazing! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments. Makes me feel like I'm learning a lot. At times I still feel like a rank amateur. This pipe taught me a lot.

Cool looking pipe Crafty. Nice job.

Crafty, when a pipe comes out looking that good...you are no rank amateur.
