I have been greatly inspired by the Volcanos made by [[Brad Pohlmann]], [[Todd Johnson]], and [[Jeff Gracik (J. Alan Pipes)]]. This Volcano bellow is my second. Grade C; Height: 1.92"; Diameter:1.8" side to side at bottom; Overall Length: 7 "; Chamber Diameter: 3/4"; Chamber Depth: 1.7". Made from Italian Plateaux briar with a hand cut German Ebonite Stem, integral tenon, and Boxwood accent. Beautiful straight grain on the sides of the shank, and birdseye on its top and bottom. Flame and straight grain flow up the bowl. | I have been greatly inspired by the Volcanos made by [[Brad Pohlmann]], [[Todd Johnson]], and [[Jeff Gracik (J. Alan Pipes)]].

Pictured bellow-- 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. I find Bulldogs to be an extremely challenging shape. The lines and angles demand symmetry, and show every deviation from it. They have proven to be an excellent study. 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. | Pictured bellow-- 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.

Pictured bellow-- 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 beautiful pipe, especially if you like birdseye! It's quite large, but remains graceful.[[Image:scotthile4.jpg]] | Pictured bellow-- Etude #26 Grade B, Smooth Calabash: Height: 2.7"; Diameter:1.65"; Overall Length: 6.5"; Chamber Diameter: 3/4"; Chamber Depth: 2.2".

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. | 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.
