Dude. Not only is that extremely impressive work, more than that it's quite literally heartwarming to see what you produce and the methods you use. I remember a little while ago when you asked if you should start to include the use of power tools. So so glad to see you found your own brilliant and inventive way around the issue. Your work is inspirational. A constant reminder of what effort and patience can bring. Bless you brother 🙏. Keep 'em coming! 😎

I've been smoking a pipe for 43 years, and I really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into fine pipe making. This is truly an amazing pipe of great beauty, complexity, and uniqueness. Thank you for taking the time and effort to give it a new life! You did an extraordinary job..... Especially with manual (nonpower) tooling. You exemplify what is truly meant by the word "Craftsman". I might suggest though...... You probably need to drill or ream that bowl a bit deeper in order to accommodate enough tobacco for a decent smoke.

Hi, Great work indeed! The pipe is made from a material called Meerschaum, a very porous chalk-like stone, which starts off brilliant white and is coloured by the tobacco.(Translation is 'Sea Foam') the braided portion is actually horse hair. these pipes come in various lengths and were sometimes decorated further by the owners. This one has had an amzing amount of use and must have been a cherished posession!

Your's looks similar to a 19th century German Kalmasch Estate pipe on Ebay . You did make an error in putting the finger ring on top instead of the bottom in final assembly .
