Just grabbed if off Fleabay. Pics are turrible. It's going to be a fun project. Hope it's solid.  Oh boy, that's a big one, and with fine grain.
Got to be seven inches if it's a one.

That's right where I thought as well. Bowl looks smaller than a 5 (I hope). I have no magnum pipes so we'll see.

usual on Sat. 5 items junk mail for Nan, 2 for me, already in recycle bag. Around here at least it's calander season, near all from charities we've never gave to, or never heard of. I guess those outfits all swap folks' mailing address. I've got my 2020 calander ready to go, so far she's got around 4, will decide end of Dec which to use. We don't have fancy dancy cell phones, calanders hung up on nails in laundry room

A very fine piece in unusually good condition for its age.

Oof. 1 lbs box of Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired headed my way. I've been drooling over some Boswell pipes recently, too. (Pretty big drop this evening by the looks of it.) Hopefully one day I can justify buying a really nice pipe.  |

These siblings stopped by last week, they are sweet (smoking) and well behaved, nary a gurgle from either. I think they may stay a while.  ,  |

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Greg! The first time I laid eyes on that shape from him, I knew I had to have one. I've been putting it off for almost a year. Maybe the birth of the twins (soon) will be the kick in my pants that I need.
I love those!

The Orchid was posted close to 2 months back, couldn't believe no one had jumped on it. I asked if he was interested in doing an Orchid in morta and Robert was ready to go. I wound up with his first morta orchid and its predecessor, kinda like buying a pair of pistols with consecutive serial numbers.
Gotta say he has a knack for graceful design and good engineering.

If DaveG did the photos and info, I wonder did he also do a wee restore on the baby. I agree it is a fine pipe. |

Either today or tomorrow I’m expecting a sample of Watch City Off The Rails. It was generously sent by a gentleman on another forum.
I also ordered 5 pouches of Amphora Brown (Original) from tobaccopipes.com.
Well that’s all for a while for me.... yea right! Darn TAD!
