Just a quick note to thank
@CDXX Pipes for a true work of art. It's such a joy to use it with the Neo and everything just fits and seals perfectly. I'm Dutch and my father used to love to recite Anton Korteweg's Dutch translation of Rilke's "Autumn Day", with its last stanza
Wie nu geen huis heeft, bouwt het ook niet meer.
Wie nu alleen is, zal het nog lang blijven,
zal waken, lezen, lange brieven schrijven,
in lanen
rusteloos dwalen, telkens weer,
als op de wind de blaren zullen drijven.
Who has no house now, will build him one no more.
Who is alone now, long will so remain,
will wake, read, write long letters
and will in the avenues to and fro
restlessly wander, when the leaves are blowing
Imagine my surprise and delight when it turned out that
@CDXX Pipes named this pipe "Rusteloos Dwalen". He and I discussed the shape of the pipe, with a lengthy, bent stem, because my hand function is not good and lifting my arms tires me. The way it turned out is just perfect, including the bit of live edge at the bottom which makes it so much easier to hold. Impressed by the care and attention and grateful for such a gift. I'll add photos, but I had very little time last week.
