Talbert Pipes- Small site update - Two bamboo-shanked Mortas + LB Collector

[Trever Talbert]

Just a quick note for everyone on our list - I've just posted two more 
bamboo-shanked Morta Classics to the catalog here:

This closes out morta production for the moment.  We have finally 
managed to get a little ahead of the demand and get some pipes in STOCK 
as opposed to simply turning them over, so it's time to turn our 
attention to other projects - I know Emily has some LB work to do. 
Speaking of Ligne Bretagnes, I posted a Collector a few days ago, after 
the last mailing notice.  It has a little story attached, as most of 
them do, and one can see it here:

This one is a particularly good deal because it's a handmade, rusticated 
churchwarden for a price down in the range of the standard-production 
LBs.  Eventually, I hope to do a set of photos of the process by which I 
am shaping and drilling pipes today, since it is similar to the Danish 
method but quite different in some respects.  If I can put together some 
pics, I may contact Ken Lamb also to see if he'd be interested in trying 
to create some copies of this tooling for sale, though it would be a 
complex and expensive task, I fear.
That's it for now - Thanks for your time!
