-'''2006 Christmas pipe, smooth bulldog:''' From Algerian briar; Bowl Height: 2.05"; Bowl diameter at rim: 1.74; Overall Length: 6.25 "; Chamber Diameter: 3/4"; Chamber Depth: 1.53"; Hand cut German Ebonite Stem; Delrin Tenon. Scott's description: I find Bulldogs to be an extremely challenging shape. The lines and angles demand symmetry, and show every deviation from it. I hope this is the first of traditional S.E.THILE Christmas pipes. This one and only for 2006 was a gift for my son, John, who loves Bulldogs, and loves Christmas. He reports it's an excellent smoker. [[Image:scotthile7.jpg|right]]

Scott's description: Hand cut Cumberland Stem with a Delrin tenon and ivory accent ring. Very nice birdseye on top and bottom, and very decent ring grain on the blast.

This is my first Grade A pipe, and I think I finally managed to rival Etude #15, which until this one (#28) has been my most succesful Pokerbash. I've been trying for this for the last several months. Turns out it's good plateaux blocks that are large enough and well suited to this shape are very few and fair between. I suspect that Grade A Opus 1s are going to be very rare indeed!

-'''Etude #26 Grade B, Smooth Calabash''':  Height: 2.7"; Diameter:1.65"; Overall Length: 6.5"; Chamber Diameter: 3/4"; Chamber Depth: 2.2". Scott's description: Hand cut Ebonite Stem with a Delrin tenon. Beautiful birdseye on both sides, with wonderful cross grain on top, front, back, and bottom. This is a really beautiful pipe, especially if you like birdseye! It's quite large, but remains graceful. [[Image:scotthile4.jpg|left]]

 I have enjoyed pipe smoking and collecting since a young lad of 16 and loved wood and working wood for as long as I can remember. I have picked up some skills with wood and tools, largely from my piano rebuilding work, and making a few pieces of furniture.
