    What about a pipe design that is a sitter on the front side of the bowl (to where the stem sticks up), but it looks like the pipe bowl is melting onto the surface…maybe…hehe

    @Balkovecpipes Dude! I nearly said it reminded me of a Castello! hahaha I also dug that Anne Julie Stanwell in your Stem vid. I didn’t know she had designed one for them. Cool stuff.

    @pipeheadOR Thanks bro. Glad you like them. Making pipes from scratch is allot of work. It’s nice when people like you appreciate them.,

    @misterpipesmoker Thanks Bro. I need to make a set of twin pokers for you and the wife someday. I am really cutting some nice poker shapes now days. I have been streamlining them a bit so there not just a straight cylinder like everyone else’s poker. They feel just right in the hand that way. Just an angled cut on the bottom of the bowl, makes a enormous difference when holding it in your hand. Thanks for watching,

    @astroman2112 Thanks for watching James, and thanks for the kind words. I fell in like with the nosewarmer. I Always wanted a pipe that size and style. I just couldn’t sell it, I had to have it for myself. I based it on the Castello #10. A pat on the back coming from a guy with such a fantastic collection means allot to me Bro.,
    Thanks again,
    Mark

    Fantastic work Mark but then we don’t expect anything less from you. I feel inspired to get back into my garage and start carving, if only my wife didn’t have my day plotted already :)
    Cheers,
