    Default First pipe made in 4+ years....

    So, most of you that know me haven't seen me make a pipe in a looooooong time. Well, I received some great help from a friend that made a lot possible for us when we were in a major snafu and that's what he wanted. So I broke out a 4 year old stick stack, removed the inch or so of dust and dirt and made the below pictured piece. I gotta say I had a pretty good time making it and it was fun to be relearning some techs and little things that I had momentarily forgot. There were many "aha" moments that brought me back to the piping days of old. Who knows, maybe I'll dust off that other stack thats acting as another dust collector. The piece is approx. 7" x 5".

    Thanks for looking.

    Josh

    Thanks all! OK, I've gotten hooked, I forgot how addicting making a pipe can be. As of this post I have used up all my four year old stick stacks and collaborated with Rusty Glass to make a huge force perk yesterday that is about 60% finished. I'm at home with my five year old today creating color combos with her for the stacks I want to pull out on Fri. I'll post some more pics here when the next pieces start rolling out.
