I've got to agree with everyone else here, that stem is amazing. What shade are you going to go with on the stummel? Well I just cut the stem, I didn't make it that color combination, I'm going to go with a lot darker stain on this one, the contrast will work well I think.

Well, I got some more Morta in and I'm thinking of doing a couple or more Bulldogs and a Rhodie. Glad I found my White pencil cause this stuff is a real pain to mark and see......for me anyway.  So we've got by the planning stage, now if I can get out of relax mode we'll be on our way. LOL! |

Well, this aint my first Rodeo, LOL! I just drill three 1/4" holes in the correct place and connect the dots. LOL! In fact I just got that done about an hour ago so I could start on one first thing in the morn.  |

Well, I reckon it's pretty pointless to post this now see'en fadingdaylight beat me to it but, hey I've already uploaded photos to my image thingy so here's two anyway that he didn't post. One of three Mortas I'm doing, 1st one, the Rhodesian finished and on it's way to it's new owner. The other two will be Bulldogs by the way. Oh! Fadingdaylight so happy your happy with the pipe so far. I'm sure you'll be plenty pleased with how it performs as well sir.

If you look up a little you should see it (not on your ceiling, but further up the thread). It's a work of art - as are all of Ron's creations. |

I feel like the king of redundancy by saying that your pipes are breathtakingly beautiful, Ron. You really have the gift.
All of your pipes are beauties, I hope you are happy with the new lathe...have you had any issues with it or has it exceeded your expectations?

As far as the lathe I've had a few small issues but, nothing I couldn't adjust or fix within a reasonable time span. It's been pretty much a great lathe specially considering my old one was a quarter the size and antique. It's no South Bend but, it does what I need it to and accurately.

This isn't really on the Bench but, I didn't want to start a new thread just to show you all it. This is a commission I just finished up this morning a smooth Cavalier. Yes, the photo's are a little fuzzy and of poor quality but, all I can say is that I'm a pipe maker not a photographer.
