@Londy3 Yeah, a bit of a story. I had bought an entire burl from an exotic wood dealer in Atlanta, and cut it up in my workshop to use for pipes. That pipe is one of them. Yes it has small cracks in the wood, but I left the walls thick so that: a) it won't get hot in the hand while smoking, and b) the wood wouldn't crack further. If you look carefully on the bottom you will see my stamp on it. It is pretty small, though. Hope it works well for you. Merry Christmas, paisano!
Hey everyone! I take it that everyone’s exchange went smoothly again this year? Do we have anyone waiting? If not, then I can say this year was another success 😊.
I want to thank everyone who participated this year. No worries about a smaller crowd. I’m just happy that we were able to have some fun this year. I know I was blessed by my Secret Santa, and I hope all of you were too!

Pretty cool huh? I don't know anything about the pipe but it's new with no name. Probably the biggest pipe I have right now. Thank you Santa!
That looks like @mfresa’s personal handiwork to me.
Wow, man. Really nice brother! Is there a story behind this one? Feels great in the hand and love the grain and cool lines in it. Thank you!!

Cool. I like the cracks in it. Especially the added gold inside. Very cool.
Like I've always said about the Cleveland browns... there's always next year. 🤣

I goldenized the cracks for sex appeal 😅
