This is my first freehand shape that I did. I decided to keep the pipe as I don't have a large freehand. The bowl is 7/8 wide and nearly 2 inches deep.

Pipe 06
Another nice author though a bit on the darker side.... A black and walnut contrast was used to obtain this color and while dark in person is quite pleasing to the eye. The bottom of the pipe is rusticated to add to the dark look of the pipe. A bit bigger bowl capacity, I nice lounging pipe for the evening!

Pipe 03
My best billiard by far at this point. I am very happy with this one turned out, both with the grain, drilling, and stem. There are a few small pits, but nothing major. The stain is a cherry red lightened up by a few coats of virgin stain. All in all a nice pipe.

Pipe 05
An apple, I love the shape. I had this pipe evaluated by many people at Chicago and feel it was my best work at the time. The stain is a cherry over black, giving a nice contrast to the grain. The pipe is very light and fits well in the hand.

Pipe 09
This particular pipe has been sitting unfinished for quite sometime. I simply didn't know what I was looking for then an apple popped out to me one day. The pipe is partially rusticated and has a nice walnut stain to show off the grain. This is another favorite shape of mine.

Pipe 10
At first this pipe started out as an apple, then I wanted a bent brandy. Finally I decided to mix the two together. This pipe has some wonderful straight grain and beautiful birdseye along the bottom. This is the first pipe were I started to think of cutting stems. I used the same style as on my authors and cut it down to a saddle bit as I had none big enough for the shank. The stain is a red under stain with some virgin to lighten it up. A very nice pipe that sits on its own.

Pipe 07
Another author shaped pipe. I love this shape and really enjoy carving them. This one is chubby pipe with some very nice grain and the walnut stain does a great job of showing this off. It fits wonderfully in the hand. The finish is absolutely beautiful with a great shine to it.

Pipe 08
This is a custom order pipe. He wanted the pipe fully rusticated and asked for a billiard. I went to work on this one and had several mishaps, including an accident that required a new stem be fitted. All in all it turned out very nice and think I will be doing more fully rusticated pipes in the future.
