Congrats! A milestone in your career to be proud of, for sure.

Excellent! Too much to do in Vegas for just one trip; especially your first. Glad you had a good time!

Excellent article. Thanks!

Don't forget to try and build a complete collection of "slap cards" from the street vendors. They are free!!

Sounds like a smoke for only a very special occasion!

I was never a "climber" per se as in travelling the globe in search of peaks to summit, but I served for a few years with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department on one of their Mountain Search and Rescue teams. We did a lot of technical rescues in the San Gabriel and Sierra Nevada mountain...

I'm a lefty and this pipe was specifically carved to fit my left hand. The curved portion between the bowl and the stem fits my left thumb perfectly. The overall pipe is not too large so as to make me have to consciously grasp it or where I get tired holding on to it and not too small where I...

Excellent! You will have hours of frustr...... I mean fun! Seriously, it was a project I really enjoyed and I know you will too.

Ok, I found my good camera and took some final photos today. The first seven photos represent the pipe after 3 light coats of "Kramer's Best Antique Improver" applied 24 hours apart from each other. I think you'll agree that the Kramer's brought out the natural grain in the briar quite...

Hey, Jon. I don't play these games since my son is the one with the X-Box and I never could get used to the controls but he (my oldest son) is supposedly pretty high ranked in COD and plays BO a lot. Look him up if you want his screen name is Nigeldoesthedew

Pics!!

Yawn....goodnight

Ok, here are some poor quality cell phone photos since I can't seem to find my good camera. This is my test piece. Raw wood on the left and treated with one application of Kramer's Best Antique Improver on the right. (sorry for the focus) Now for the pipe - These are after one application...

The grain did not raise at all but it did enhance the contrast in the grain beautifully. If you remember, I was concerned about the odor of the Kramer's lingering in the wood but as of this morning there is no noticeable odor. So far, I'm very pleased with the outcome and can't wait to start...

Ed, I got the Kramers in the mail yesterday. Thanks!! I think the little bottle you sent will last a few years! lol I tried it on a test piece and liked the results so I jumped in and did the first application to the pipe. Wipe on, wipe off and the grain looks amazing! John Kramer told me to...

I have a 2 oz bar of carnauba I bought from Pimo Pipecraft along with a muslin buffing wheel for applying it and a flannel wheel for buffing it out. It is indeed a hard piece of wax. I guess where I'm still conflicted is on the stain because there are no "do overs" if I stain the pipe and don't...

Thanks, Ed! I took a look at the Kramer's website and really like what I see with regards to their product. The main thing I like is that the Kramer's seems to bring out the natural color and grain in the wood and you get a true natural looking finish rather than the artificial color that a...
