Photos of your pipes

My 3rd TRP pipe also in Morta, this one with a army mount is in transit to Vegas. This should satisfy my PAD for a while.

Purchased another Bjarne on Ebay yesterday. Should be here Monday or Tuesday. For some reason I'm just drawn to Bjarne pipes. Anyway, here's a stock photo from Ebay. I'll post my own once it's in my hands.



Oh and this picture is actually from a differrent auction of the same pipe. The pictures weren't quite as nice for the auction I ended up winning.

I love my Bjarnes too - its a pity there will be no more. I have one Johs, he made many of the last Bjarne pipes and the quality seems close. The Johs I have is not bad, but its not as good as my best Bjarne(s).

Here's a Peterson St Patrick's Day Special 2009 I picked in Deadwood, SD.







The wood pattern of the right side of this pipe is just amazing, can't wait to break it in!

By the way if you've never been to deadwood, they have an awesome smoke shop, with blues music, and a great selection of beer. Check it out sometime!

That's a really nice pipe. I'd love to go to Deadwood. The closest I have been is the HBO show. Sadly, I shed a tear when it was cancelled.

Yah. In honor of that really great show now gone....
Well, quick preface for anybody that doesn't know the show and may get shocked or fall out of their chair by what they are about to see.

Deadwood is a show based on the 19th century pioneer time in California, during the Goldrush. Deadwood was a mining start-up town where anything bad could happen and did happen. Buffalo Bill was killed there.

Lookie here, a bit of interesting info on the origins of the word **** and COCKSUCKER.

"As a lot of people have noted, the show is positively swilling in obscenity -- the characters use "f*ck" and "f*cking" with a frequency that would make Tony Soprano blush."

But "f*ck" wasn't actually a swear-word back then. It was indecent, of course, but people only used it for the sexual act itself. Whereas swear-words are the ones that become detached from their literal meanings and float free as mere intensifiers. Swearing isn't using "f*cking" when you're referring to sex, it's using it when you're talking about the weather.
In fact when you look up the word in Jonathan Lighter's magisterial Dictionary of American Slang, you discover that the all-purpose insult "f*ck you" was a turn-of-the twentieth-century creation, and "go f*ck yourself" isn't attested until 1920. "f*cked up" and "Don't f*ck with me" didn't show up till around the time of the Second World War. And while people may have been emphasizing nouns with "f*cking" from the 1890's, it wasn't until well into the century that you heard things things like "She f*cking well better tell me" or "Get the f*ck out of here," both "Deadwood" favorites.
The same holds for most of the other obscene words that you hear on "Deadwood." Back in the 19th century, people used "asshole" to refer to a bodily orifice and "cocksucker" to refer to someone who performs fellatio. But it was only in the 1920's that anybody thought to use them for a despicable person. And it was around the same time that the new word "motherf*cker" was coined with roughly the same meaning."

I was going to perform a rant to mimic the show's colorful characters but I will pass. The above education has instilled too much temporary wisdom in me so I will refrain. BOOOOO!!!

Beautiful grains on the Peterson St Patrick's Day Special 2009!

My new Bjarne came in yesterday so here's my own pic of it. I'm really liking the thick walls on the bowl. Gives it a little extra weight and better feel when holding.

I gotta start using my DSLR for photos. The pocket Cannon just isn't cutting it. Anyway, here is a DB Nelson ... found it brand new (can't get the Nelson's anymore to my knowledge) in a B&M. Talk about craftmanship. This has a twin bore stem.

Oh and here's my little pipe area. The pipe above has taken the place of the cob in the pic below. This is the new pipe rack I built this past week. The old one I built for three pipes is on its way to a fellow pipester here on the forum.

I like the rack. I should get off my butt and make one.

Yeah, that one puts my lego rack to shame.

Nah, it looks good from a distance but up close it has its faults.

Nah, the lego rack is pretty sweet too. I would have never though of using lego's for that. All of my pipes are leaning against Mason jars, looks pretty bad.

[Mad Hatter]

Nice rack. I was going to make one too but can't conceive a good way to cut the divets for the bowls to sit in.
