Story behind the name of the pipe shapes
The Woodstock shape. This is often confused with the Zulu, but is different. "This surname-turned-given name ultimately stemmed from a place in England that gave the moniker its meaning of “wooden fence.”" I don't know why or when the shape was given the name, but I do know it has nothing...- Searock Fan

Another series I follow is THE SECRET OF SKINWALKER RANCH. I had not heard much about it before the series and after the first couple of episodes I was wondering "I this all b.s.?" But, after delving into it a little deeper I'm not so sure. puffy- Searock Fan

Story behind the name of the pipe shapes
The Bulldog is the only "standard" shape pipe that can not be made without the use of a lathe to shape the bowl. Getting it right by hand is almost impossible. p.s. If any of you want to know anything else just ask me. I have all the answers... and if I don't know, I can make up some b.s...- Searock Fan

I have a giant one I use to drive tent stakes when I go camping. Just kidding. I always felt it was Castello's version of a freehand and some are really beautiful.

I'm hooked on THE CURSE OF OAK ISLAND. Been watching it from the beginning (11 years) and intend watch it till they either find the treasure or Marty Lagina runs out of money.
