Good morning all, have really been at it, have some great new stuff to post here and at my website as well as my SC, that will happen in the next few day s or so but wanted to show you all what I have been excited working lately, but first.
Bondog I appreciate you taking the time and having a look at my work. I gotta tell ya Vito has explained it best, his words come out a hellova lot better than mine, his descriptions are spot on. I like my stems dense, I like the crispness they seem to give the vapor over the softer species, the cocobolo and bloodwood and just that very dense, they also do cool the vapor slightly to improve the hit. As Vito saod each has a different feel on the lips and in the hand, the diff. is very subtle but noticeable, each has a certain essence to it, I can not recommend one over another, its all in the person and how you match it with the LB. I hope I have been helpful.
Now on to the pics, below is my newest specie, it has been at the bottom of the Chipola River in Florida since the early 1800's, cut by our forefathers. Some of it has heavy mineral deposits and staining, it is truly amazing wood.
This next one Royal Jamaican Blue Mahoe, its really hard to show the varying colors in such a small piece with the camera, in the hand and in the light it will change subtly with greens/blues/purples.
Also had the Black Walnut Tubes shot the new style my photographer has put together.
The walnut is available at my site, the others are not, gonna big a busy day and night, the wife and I are doing date night, its Red Lobster and the new Tom Hanks/Sandra Bullock movie, cant wait to spend some time with Mrs. Ed!
Will be doing alot of giveaway stuff here and there, am gonna post pic of a Afzelia Burl/turquoise dugouts I will be doing for the prize at my website, will have it posted here at
FC Dugout Thread, pls check it out and keep an eye out for all the good stuff to come.
