@Corey562 I'm with @motie2 I think motie2 would agree that the only thing that would make your pipes any better is if they mysteriously showed up in our mail box...
In that @Corey562 keeps getting more imaginative and more creative with each ensuing pipe, the only appropriate response would be to bow down whilst chanting, "We are not worthy."
What a craftsman/artist he is! I feel privileged to see each of his creations as he finishes them. (Thanks @Corey562, for posting pictures!!!!)
But there is a downside: The coveting his work inspires is like an itch I cannot scratch.
@Corey562Question: Have you ever considered making two stems (one = vulcanite / one = acrylic) for the same pipe? Naturally you'd have to charge more, but as you know, if you ever want to easily change the look of a pipe, the stem(s) will do it. ( -10 points / @motie2 knows why). The reason I say that is because I always imagine what your finished pipes would look like with different stems and colors. It's just a thought... Don't mind me, I'm just thinking out loud...
@Corey562 I love it! Great artistry, and you already know I really like your rustication technique. I wished we lived closer together so I could watch and learn... Also, LOVE the stain and the stem color combo...

I'm beginning to think we need to rename this discussion as "Corey562 makes beautiful pipes that I covet."
Joke ended.
