Volcano 2 - Danish Beauty

[hollywood]

OK, folks. Got her all done today. I just love this one. Turned out nearly perfect. It has a couple very tiny spots that just would not sand out, but they are not distracting and blend in well with the grain. The grain really sets this one apart; and that birsdeye .... just gorgeous. I used an arctic white corian insert on an 1/8th bent amber acrylic stem. The feel in the hand is substantial without being overly heavy. With a large chamber; you should be able to bask in relaxation for hours. Enjoy.

Excellent work. That is absolutely stunning! And look at that bird's eye. Mmm mmm mmm. Nicely done.

Wow, that is simply gorgeous, and the grain turned out beautfully. I'm really digging the downwards slope of the chamber too.

Also, is there a word for that sort of half saddle/half normal bit you seem to be using a lot?

Thank you.

Just call it a half saddle. Guess that's all I've heard it called.

Very nice. Unlike some new pipe makers, you definitely have a flair for this. Has a Heeschen quality to it.

Thanks, Bruce. I really appreciate that.

I didn't think it would take long before somebody caught the similarities to his work. Exactly what I was striving for.



btw - how is your bulldog smoking? had couple bowls in it yet?

[smokinmojo]

I don't think you (or anyone else) could have done more with that piece of briar. I love the dimensions!

well done.

[Blaylock]

Absolutely stunning, Dave!!!

[Cheeto]

Amazing work hollywood, I love the amber stem. Also I'm wondering about the inside of the bowl. Do you have to do any preparation work to make it smokable?

[fireman43]

Turned out beautiful Dave. Very nice work to put it mildly.

[perogee]

That is one of the most stunningly beautiful pipes that I have seen. I love how the amber stem matches the color of the rest of the pipe so closely, they really complement each other and blend well together.

Truly well done.
