Good morning Patch! This is a commission creation, and not available. However its a very nice copper banded billiard I finished up last night. It needs a final buff and wax, and my stamp. Then it is complete! Sadly the picture doesn't do it justice. It has some nice subtle birdseye on both sides but the pic just looks mottled burgundy red. Cell phone for the win?  |

A Good Looking Pipe! The Finish is Definitely a Step Up. The band and tamper really set it apart!  |

Very nice. Copper accents should be more popular than they seem to be.

Make it so! LOL! Aye aye sir! I have plenty of copper to use. I also have some aluminum and brass rod, but sadly the tiny metal lathe I bought on amazon wasn't what I thought it was so I sent it back (Wouldn't turn the brass even, so definitely not usable for my purposes. Whaddya expect for under $200) |

I'd expect about that much! Live and learn, I guess.

I love the look of copper on a pipe, but as soon as I touch the stuff I get a smell on my fingers that overpowers anything from the tobacco.

I love the look of copper on a pipe, but as soon as I touch the stuff I get a smell on my fingers that overpowers anything from the tobacco. I get that from brass, not coincidentally, I imagine. Can't say I've noticed it from "pure" copper, though, which seems odd. |

Terry has offered this up as the first place prize for the Arizona Pipw Club’s slow smoke competition. Spartacus is the reigning champ, we need to bring him down!😝😉
Thank you for your generosity, Terry!

I noice the same thing. I touch the copper change (which isn't just copper) or a copper pipe and my hands stink of copper. As for the pipe - that's a lovely piece you've made, adui. |
