New home for Goussard Pipes

Due to the gracious nature of my pipesmoking-friend, Dean, Goussard Pipes now have a new home. If you care to have a look, please go to http://goussardpipes.com/ . He's done some marvellous work!

From now on, this blog will be used to show pipes that I'm currently working on, some of the trials and tribulations in the wonderful world of pipemaking and also some other pipe-related stuff.

Here is a photo of what I'm currently working on. The half-shaped pipe is my impression of an elephant's foot. The grain seems very promising and I can't wait to see the result. The block of plateaux is next in line, with a rough outline of what I envision, drawn on the side.

#1101 and #1102

My apologies for not having any measurements for these 2 pipes, I suppose with a little one in the house the mind is the first thing to go!

#1101:
First off is this bamboo-shanked pickaxe. It was a commission for a pipesmoker friend of mine and I'm quite satisfied with it!

#1102:

This one is on its way to my friend Jaume in Spain. The stem inlay is kudu horn.
