So, I made my first full rusticated pipe. Previous to this, everything I've made has been smooth. This started out as a commission, but I found what looks like a possible sand pit in the chamber. So, it's now a shop pipe. Funny that yesterday I was working on a new block for that same commission, and there was a big inclusion in the side. I'll finish that one too, and rusticate that one side panel. It's all good, because I'm working on a commission for sperrytops too, and he asked for severe rustication, so this was good practice. Without further adieu, here it is. No fussy pictures, just a pipe on the bench it was born from.   |

Stunning pipe Jason, coat the bowl with a good pipe mud and that pipe will smoke well for years. It’s a darn shame when you get that far with a new pipe and something so minor can create havoc. The rustication and stain looks gorgeous with the color stem you chose👌👍👍

Looks like a canted or fine Devil Anse to me, it’s still saleable in my books. The sand pit in the chamber is minor. When you make something your as anal-retentive as me if it’s to be sold. |

When you make something your as anal-retentive as me if it’s to be sold. if you look on the one side, you'll see I accidentally dug into the white shank cap with my Rusty tool. I'm extremely anal retentive, and couldn't put this for sale with both those issues. It's not my very best work, and doesn't get the "JB" stamp, like Dramatwist's did. Haha. Edit: I didn't post a pic with the gouge in the cap. Oops. Well, it's there, and breaks my widdle heart. |

I have to agree with scrooge. You should start having some Cramps basket pipes. |

Very nice pipe, you’re improving by leaps and bounds. Don’t get discouraged. I'm not discouraged, it's the nature of the beast. You can have a FLAWLESS block, and then you start sanding away, and "Oh, look at that. A sandpit. Thanks Briar". But, a lot of times you can just turn lemons into lemonade. Here was an example. |

Under Carving is the key to an good looking rustication. I've always said with Castello the worst briar makes the best Sea Rock. Chiseling out the pits and working the rustication around the under carving looks good. Very few take the time to do it but Butera and Roush do it very well. Coat the bowl if you're worried it will burn out.
I'll pick my large group 6 size Brown/Cumberland billiard from you in Chicago.  |

I really like your rustication...the "depth" that it adds to the pipe, is outstanding. You are making some fine looking pipes, Cramps. Your type of rustication makes the pipe very specific and original in the sense that no one else does it like you do.
When you finish the raffle pipe, I think it will generate $1,000.00 in ticket sales...maybe more. You will have been the reason that it is a success.

Seriously Jason, your efforts to educate yourself in this art inspire me to try harder in the work I do. (BTW, I love the way you do stem buttons.) |

You're a talented dude and I'm glad you found briar as your medium, it suits you! It's also one of those things you like to do, are good at, and can feed you and the fam. Literally and spiritually. Keep 'em coming!

Jason, you really have a talent for this. You are also a perfectionist, which is the soul of a true artist. I can't wait to see my pipe.

Nothing new to report, except a rash of sandpits that have been preventing me from getting some commissions done. About 4 in a row. The problem is, you can't seem 'em til they're there. I had a nice freehand dublin going last night, and was all done with shaping, until I saw a little inclusion on the right side near the rim. So, being the perfectionist, I tried to sand it, making the rim just slightly reducing the Diameter. Nope. That little thing went in a good 1/4" or more, ruining the shape. I had to toss it. I started another 3, and drilled them out. One's ready for shaping. I have 3 commissions going on, one is just waiting on stem material, so I can turn it down and get final shaping going. Two have been bad sandpits, and have restarted one twice, and on the third go-round on the second. I might switch back to.jy old supplier, because I can't have this happen every time. I only get 2-3 hours a day, depending, to work on stuff 5-6 days a week. It can be extremely frustrating. At least one of the sandpit blocks wasn't terrible, so I'm turning it into an eggfish for someone. Ho hum. And so it goes.

Jason, great choice is color combinations!! The shape of the briar is different, looks fabulous. Another fine looking pipe which I know will be a superb smoker. The “ owner “ will surely appreciate this beauty 👍👍👍👍👍

The “ owner “ will surely appreciate this beauty 👍👍👍👍👍 Purple stem was requested. The magenta in the oxblood stain worked well. You can't tell, but the pipe looks like a perfectly ripe black cherry. |
