The 1999 Yule Pipe

I wanted to do something challenging since this was my first Christmas pipe after going full-time with the pipe business, but I didn't realize just what I was biting off when I chose to do 10 hand-shaped pipes with handcut stems, hand-turned and carved brass bands, plus arranging for the Tebow tamper and Gregory Pease tobacco that would ship with each. Despite the headaches of bringing everything in by deadline, I feel some of the 1999 Yule pipes are the prettiest I've done so far. This pipe was my favorite of the set with its distinctive grain pattern. It is currently in the collection of Kevin Sine.
