This is a piece of art, Thomas. Unique.
It looks like it is intarsia, but from the picture i cannot say for sure.
Congrats!

Yes, intarsia! I think in SOTD I used another word.

Oh, the tobacco would be Lane 1Q...

Well well Phil, you do post pictures! Now you just need to share a little "luck" with us.

Hand is slowly getting better.....out of the splint, now my index and middle finger are straped together at all times.

Pipe: TRG Christmasapple
Tobacco: Lane 1Q for Nosewarmer, get better Phil!

Not really new... It a group of "us" guys that have been running together for a period of time that have been chastised by another "pipe" forum due to "Their snobbishness and other issues".

We as a group say what we feel and don't hold anything against others for what style/price pipe or tobacco blends.

I feel at home when I smoke my $5.00 cob, Drug Store Blend and drinking a beer, while they maybe smoking a $500.00 Dunhill, expensive tobacco and 100 year old Scotch... Of course vise versa...

Kind of like this group here...

Well here is the luck. This picture is from about July or so... My TRG Luck o' the Irish.

This is my pride and joy, first handmade pipe for me, my specifications and design. A Big little freehand NoseWarmer...

I can't wait for my TRG "PocketPipe"

Today I finished my restoration project- the old barber-box.
For details please take a look into SOTD 14/#138

My pipes today: the beautiful Vauen with Signature

Good job on the box it looks very nice:-)

Nosewarmer--I hear ya about the snobby stuff. It makes no difference whether it's pipes, razors, hones, guns well heck I could go on but you get the idea. I hate that garbage. Some folks can't afford high end pipes or whatever and others just don't enjoy them any more than less expensive items.
When I write gun reviews for a gun publication I may write about $300 guns or $2000 guns. I may buy the $300 after the test if I like it but never the $2000 because I couldn't afford it in a million years! That and I would never use it because I would be afraid to scratch it or something. Bottom line to each his own.
What forum was that I may have left the same one???
Hey Missouri Meerschaum is only an hour drive away from me. The plant tour is neat and surrounded by corn fields. Of course the corn is the hybrid type they make pipes from:-)

You're absolutly right gunner.
Most of the people don't like service and maintenance.
My best razors are the old one, I got it for less or only some Euros.

But I only use new pipes. I bought good ones and if they get service and maintenance I can use it the rest of my life.

The same thing with the weapons. I bought good ones because I often use them for competitions. And also the weapons need service.
