Nice work Jeremy. I am a big fan of rustication on pipes and have patented my own technique, i sure you will end up doing the same as you go further into this pipe carving. I wont hijack your thread by posting pics of my own pipes but if you are interested PM me with your email addy and i will sned you some pics to show you want can be achieved with a little perseverance.

Excellent work for your first rustication my friend!
