Well, today spring has really begun. For the first day of this year it was supposed to be warmer than 20 degrees and the temperature finally climbed to 28.7 degrees Celsius. I have a desire to make some more cheerful pipes. Anyway, together with my colleague Slavek we are enjoying the beautiful weather and we moved the finishing work on our pipes outside on the sun.
Beautiful and sunny day to you all.
This pipe is a proposal for the XVI International Championship of Slovakia in slow pipe smoking. I chose a simple design that has a finely structured surface. The finish of the pipe was treated with shellac. The ring is in the Slovak national colors. I hope that all competitors will enjoy smoking this pipe.

My pipes were exposed for the first time today on the web pages of the Danish-Pipeshop Bisgaard-Pipes. I hope my pipes in intense competition with Danish pipemakers succeed and it will be the start of Long-term cooperation.
This weekend 11th February 2012 came my friends from the Pipeclub Prachatice, same as every year in February (it has already been the third time). In this album you can see photos from this Saturday. There are also pictures of pipes that we made together.
Here are photos of two pipes, which have been created by my friends in Kostelec during the XXXXVIII. workshop. The pipes were manufactured by Adam Schorcht, Tomas Liska along with me.
Here are some further photos of the event and the pipes we made. It was a pleasant meeting with friends from the PipeClub "Ruda upon Moravia"
