Walnut burl with Maple burl

[alekos557]

Went for the rustic look with this one.
Maple burl main body with Walnut burl upper, lower, and stem.

You just keep getting better. Sorta looks like a freehand style pipe. I like it. Keep up the great work.

I really like this....alekos....just awesome....I've got me some maple burl to try, I hope mine turns out as good as yours....
Now I will have to get some walnut also... I like that wood...

Is the rustication on top of pipe part of burl,or did you do that?

 

[alekos557]

It is the natural skin or exterior of the burl.
After seeing your Peachwood cigar, you certainly have the skills to work with burl.

I'm getting ready to do a pipe myself. Could you source that switch for me?

Here ya go duckie_44, turn yourself a holder while you are at it.

Or I could be boring and put a candle in it.
