I'm way past owing you guys an update.
Obviously our 2016 pipes didn't make delivery in 2016.
I can't fault the TNB guys too much, though. With Cody's first born arriving in October (I have an address if anyone wants to send congratulations ) and then Cody again, getting death-bed sick for the span of about two months (again, I have an address for anyone wanting to send well wishes! ) it put a big hurt on the production of our pipes. Ian kept trucking along, but one man can only do so much!

Here's a batch getting the contrast base coat, prior to stem work:

And with stems roughed out:

And here's the lot with further finishing and trim rings attached:

This was just prior to the new year, and they were anticipating just a few weeks left at that point for final stem work, finishing, bowl coat, and stamps.
A big thank you to everyone involved for your patience. I know the guys are doing the best they can.
Any day now, right?!!!
(hopefully before month's end)
