My Custom-bilts

Very nice! I like the rugged carved style. I have a Kaywoodie Hand Made that is very similar.

Would you mind if I posted mine here or would you prefer that be in another thread?

I have a couple Tom Howards on my "want" list...there has been one I have been watching for quite a long time. I just need to finally pull the trigger on it!

Feel free to post what you have! No worries!

Another pipe that is on my wish list! I have been trying to find a nice Hand Made series Kaywoodie for a long time. I have come across a couple, but the prices were all way to high!

@Branzig These are cool! The rugged style speaks to me. I'm going to have to find one or two for myself!

Thanks!

Yeah, I love the rugged American look too. They are excellent smokers to boot. I have a couple more I am working on now that I will post here when I am finished.

As was mentioned, if you like these CBs, be sure to check out some Tom Howards and Kaywoodie Handmade series as well. They are both on my want list and have great looks to them :encouragement:

Here's some before pics. Luckily it was in pretty good shape from the get go. The stem was a little beat up, but I forgot to take before shots of it

That bad boy is around 5.5 inches long. Has a good sized bowl on it too, right around 1 3/4 inches deep and an inch wide.

Smokes like a champ too.

Those are some fine looking pipes. How did you get the wax out of the valleys?

It was terrible... :livid:

I used a hairdrier to soften all the wax up, then had to use tooth picks and a sewing needle to carefully remove all the residue. Had to be pretty diligent and steady to make sure that I didn't scratch or gouge anything.

Worst part is how much I paid for that pipe....wasn't in the advertised condition when I received it....oh well, everything turned out alright. :pipe:
