Yeah, ngl the second I saw the burl I was sad it was covered again.
Would have looked incredible just finishing the natural burl.

Lemme just say, if you buy this amazing work of art and then stuff it with Borkum Riff and light with a Bic instead of matches, you will be Drawn and Quartered at dawn.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

There is a tobacconist in my town who sells a proprietary blender called “The Shire”. I feel this would be appropriate.

This is more stressful then Bob Ross when he keeps paints giant black thick lines right down the middle of his beautiful painting… then 5 minutes later you’re like “OOOOOooooohhhh it’s a beautiful foreground tree”

If he ever gets bored of doing this he could always bulk up and be a great king fu movie villain.
I mean he could be his kid the resemblance is striking.

Nobody's harassing you to go quickly. Must be nice to craft with no constraints. Artists.

Considering these end up in auction houses, I appreciate the artist's ability and craftsmanship AND one must respect the $500 - $1000 or more prices they may get, but for me, I still can't afford the added cancer causing bonus.

With all the work that’s gone into restoring it, I’d definitely put it on display. Looks amazing.

Would you believe that people in Asia smoke tobacco too?

Not gonna lie, I immediately thought this was for weed.
It’s not any less impressive I just spent the whole video with a cheeky smile thinking about how she took the most heavenly rip from that thing.
Like this whole time I was hyping her up thinking about how she should paint a grinder or something like that so they could have a matching set. Maybe even a plate

Are you afghan perhaps? Tobacco smoking is much more popular than poppy smoking in most places.
