Bird eyes prefer for my taste an orange/walnut color,

While of course you must always pay heed to your own preferences, boy howdy in this case the combination of birdseye and blue dye works very well. Almost an electrical quality in the highlights.

Woah, woah, woah, that is stunning!
Put a pretty blue & black swirl stem on her and I want to buy it, she is exquisite! She must be, because I've vowed & declared a strict end to pipe buying, but I'd break the rules to own her - she has my name written all over her!

Maurizio I am with you on the color, but it is an interesting pipe. Good work.

That's gorgeous brother. I love any deep jewel tone stain on wood and in my opinion there is not enough of it in the pipe world. I love the Peterson green and red stains and this deep almost lapis lazuli like blue stain has its hooks in me in much the same manner.

I'm all about the color. That's one sharp looking pipe. Next up... a pipe with 5 different color dyes! right?
...right? :|

My favorite colour blue, note that I know how to spell colour my American friends.

[logandow]

where did you find the blue?

 

[billm67]

I love that color blue and I love to see pipes in colors other than brown or black. That is a great job indeed!

:clap: Nice work, WOW.

 

[group4]

I love that stain! Very nice.

 

[hobie1dog]

The only thing that could be improved is if it had a sterling silver band on it. I love it.

 

[damien83]

VERY NICE!!!!! Blue being my favorite color makes that pipe all the more awesome in my eyes.

 

[pipetrucker]

Wow. I never thought I would go for a blue colored pipe but that looks fantastic.

Again beautiful work! I'm curious about hold the blue stain will hold to long term smoking. I've never stained any of the pipes I've made anything other than standard colors. Did you use an alcohol based stain? I refinished an old Lemans(Fr.) once and stained it Forest Green. After about 6-8 months of use it had turned basically brown with a few green highlights. Will that happen on a "fresh" piece of briar?
