That double finish actually looks really good! (aside from reminding me of Two-face from Batman a bit...)

The rusticated part was done with a dremel, the rest by handOriginally posted by cj121 View PostGreat job Paulie
Have you access to power tools and the like or was this all by hand mate?

Cheers Jim, it smokes remarkably well for a cheap pipe, I smoked it enough to form a little cake 2 thirds of the way up the chamber before deciding to change itOriginally posted by oskihen View PostGreat job paulie, hope it smokes as good as it looks [emoji106]

Tis a beautiful thing. I guess it's an obvious thing, but it must be more "grippy" and tactile now.Originally posted by Paulie2876 View PostDecided to redo the first project pipe as I wasn't really happy with it. Before

As to a cheapie pipe, it does seem that price and smokeability, in my admittedly very limited experience, do not correspond in a linear fashion. Corn cobs are the chief example, cheap(est?), but versatile and very good smokes. I'm also reliably told that a good Parker (though kind of a separate entity these days, and not always a second/failing) is a good percentage as good as a Dunhill at a fraction of the cost. Frankly I think I'd be flat out scared smoking a pipe worth too much in case I dropped it.
By the by, it smokes well, it looks good, it's totally unique, and it wasn't expensive. It's almost a grail pipe! :-) Nice going indeed.
