Howdy fellow pipers! Been a helluva summer. Hope y'all are well. Nice to see some new converts in the thread -

I got some new tools this summer, and finally started putting in some work over the past few weeks... finally have something to show for it! I present the Bamboo Dublin Sitter and the Volcano with Black Palm and acrylic inlays:
They're far from perfect, but I'm extremely happy with the results. Still trying to find the right stem for the volcano. I have about 60 pics in these two sets showing the progress. Feel free to browse:

I'm really having a blast - briar is such an amazing wood to work with. That's all I plan on using for now, and I'll stick to the exotics for inlays and such, as in the atty cover for the Volcano.
Hope ya dig em. Lemme know what you think, criticisms are welcome.
Cheers
