TC Fuller Pipes: Difference between revisions

A pipe is s simple piece of gear; two intersecting holes in a piece of wood, clay, glass, or rock, but the variations on the basic theme are infinite, or nearly so. The staggering number of possible shapes, along with the beauty and variety of the briar itself, is awesome. Making a pipe, despite the interminable hand sanding, is highly satisfying, especially when the grain, the stain, and the shape all come together, resulting in a pipe of which somebody might say: “That’s a nice pipe”. Needless to say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one man’s mead is another man’s poison, every Jack will find his Jane, and so on. There is no accounting for taste. I hope that each of my pipes will strike somebody’s fancy. In the meantime, I’m having fun making them, admiring the grain and playing with differant shapes and stain combinations. In the immortal words of Dr. Suess: "It’s fun to have fun, but you have to know how."
