More important than pipes
Topic: Other News

... visted my friend at Mass General after work tonight. Its hard to get on in the shop when there are so many more important things in life. That said, I have spent more time sanding the two pipes in progress and good things are happening in the shop or elsewhere. I've been doing the sanding upstairs with family.

To summarize lessons learned lately:

  • Its only wood!
  • Good sandpaper with cloth backing is worth its weight in gold
  • Buy good briar. Buy the best you can afford. If you wreck it,
  • Its only wood!

And I almost forgot; I've seen this in two pipemaking forums relative to the briar. (Simply) take away, what's not the pipe. Easy. . .
