I found a few of my smoking implements in storage so I thought I would share them with you folks
At 12 oâ??clock is Gandalf, when he was new (1970) his eyes would glow when the bowl was lit. Clockwise is Barling and the box it lives in, purchased in Amsterdam to fill with hash in â??78. Note the silver work at the base, it was repaired by a fantastic jeweler, Below is a Chillum, purchased in Thailand during my travels in â??68, at the bottom is the Pebble pipe, it was carved (1968) to match the rocks along a trail we hiked for years, the large rosewood was carved (1979) by my brother from the left over material from a guitar he built for the band Men at Work, Zeus (1970) rests on its hand made pouch. In the center are two rosewood pipes (â??82), again thanks to my brother the guitar maker, and an alabaster bowl that was purchased at a concert in Telluride back in â??80.
Thatâ??s the problem with aging, all your toys get old. I will try to get some photos of my childrenâ??s collection of fantastic glass. My #2 sonâ??s mother in law was a great glass artist.:stoned:

Many of my pipes are hand-carved and were as much sculpture as paraphernalia. Some pipes were made for a particular purpose or occasion. I had come into possession of a seventy pound block of Vermont soapstone. Soapstone is a very easy material to carve, and it comes in a variety of colors. Not to be confused with pipestone, which is red with a harder and more granular than soapstone. Soapstone come in a range Rating: 5
