Hi Phil - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:
Interesting profession; I think you're our first pipe carver :D
What's next up on your projects list?
Thank you. I am always working on something. Don't often take time off. Currently have several commissions on the bench and finishing a couple acrylic calabash pipes for the Nashville show. You can find links and retailers my gooling my name or Phil Rivara Pipes.
Thank you gentlemen.
Hi Phil,
Welcome! :welcome:
Very interesting, indeed. One of my grandfathers was a full-time pipe smoker; if he was awake, one of his pipes was lit and near to hand. My nose still perks up at the (increasingly rare) smell of pipe tobacco.
Your work is absolutely top-notch. I'd be hard-pressed to choose just one favorite.
Are you working on anything for yourself at the moment?
Ken
The Acrylic Calabash are my own thing but, will be going to a show and the available. I try to squeak in a few "Just because I feel like it pipes". Keeps the mind fresh.
