Subject: [Pipe-announce] 2008.04.06 - Two Rhodesians
Message-ID: <47F8F857.3070602@pipecrafter.com>


It's been a while since I put something new on my site.  I haven't been 
absent, just focusing on getting special requests out the door.  I have, 
however, been asked by a few folks to send something new out, anything, 
even if it isn't for sale or is already sold.  So here's two that I 
finished up late last week, and are already on their way to their new 
owners.

The first one is a special request of a rhodesian.  I posed the idea of 
a silver ring and robust proportions, and the customer really liked the 
sketches I sent out.

Oddly, about 3 days later, another customer asked about a rhodesian too, 
and I got the impression he was looking for something similar.  Off went 
the sketch, and here we are with a very similar pipe.

More new stuff is in the works, and might even get finished today 
(Sunday), including a really cool surprise.

Thanks for reading!

Message-ID: <47FC1DE5.1010808@pipecrafter.com>


This first pipe seems to be the first lovat I've ever made.  Now, you 
might look through my older work and find something that couldbe called 
  alovat in the right light, but here's the first one I really feel 
confident calling by that name.

This next one is a really nice bulldog with a very interesting grain. 
This one was actually saved from the sandblast cabinet by virtue of that 
grain.  I actually intended to make a sandblast, but in the end, I 
couldn't bring myself to do it.

And here is the surprise.  It's a pipe of generous bowl size despite 
it's stocky proportions.  But that's only half, or perhaps not even 
half, of the story.  No spoilers here, you have to read the page to see it.
