Shiraz vine Harvest...
Hi all.
Really loving this 40 year old vine from South Australia's McLaren Vale Shiraz region. I've done a couple of Cigars but this is my favorite. All comments welcome including photography as I'm really looking to improve.

Nice pen BUT,.... have I missed something ?. Is the pen made out of a 40 year old grape vine ??. Don't understand the connection between Shiraz grapes & the pen.

Hey Justin. HOLY COW, I never actually thought you could turn grape vine timber, I thought it would be too sappy or soft & springy. You have REALLY done well mate. I've got a Choko vine up the back yard, ........now I wonder if it needs a cut-back
