Made a couple of pipes that were supposed to be for customers, but a flaw and an accident means I couldn't send them out, so I finished them for myself. Then made 2 more. It'll be a good experiment to see how long these last. The small goblet has a giant fissure in the bowl, and a dark spot on the outside where the fissure is, so it's weak. I plugged the fissure with charcoal and maple syrup and baked it on. Be interesting to see the longevity. The flared tulip I screwed up by myself by pulling the lathe tool away at an angle and broke the shank off. Epoxied it on, repair is invisible, also be interesting to see the longevity of the repair.

Pretty pipe. I think it is worth saving. It will probably last for years if not abused.

slowroll, Nice looking grain on those pipes. Looks like you should get many decades out of them.

Thanks for the comments men. It'll be interesting to see how the goblet colors, it has no stain, just polished and waxed over the briar. BTW, if they turn out to be good for decades, I'll have to will it to one of you, 'cause it'll outlive me then.

Me first.
They look great, and if I was a customer of yours I'd accept that as much as any other pipe.

Appreciate the sentiment, but I couldn't send out a pipe of unknown durability. Absolutely you could, at least for me you could. It's not just about the pipe. It's about the fact that it was made by a friend and it has a history etc.

This one I just glued because it fit together well. I'll see how long it lasts. Modern glues should be fine, I'll be the guinea pig to check.

You could, of course, start a Slowroll second line of pipes You know, those pipes that just don't pass QA, and market them as such

Oh dear, you're giving me ideas Over time, I guess I'll accumulate more rejects than I can smoke. Come to think of it, I do have my first second (first second... kinda anachronistic) on my website.
