Seriously though, this is very nice craftsmanship. While not a pipe user myself or never having really been, I do enjoy admiring quality handiwork and woodworking.I even like your little signature bit of wood. It is all very well done.
Thank you again. I'm still learning. I've quit smoking 3 years ago and moved to vaping. I was a pipe smoker but there were no nice e-pipes around to chose from so I've build one by my self to satisfy my needs. And I can't quit with that crafting any more. Its somehow more addictive than nicotine
