Wood Carver Grabs Arnold Schwarzenegger's Attention With 'Terminator' Tobacco Pipe
Arnie sent him back a signed photo of him smoking it.
An amazing story is going around Instagram involving a Ukrainian wood pipe carver by the name of Max Bogdan and his admiration for Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Terminator movie franchise. The talented woodcarver set out to craft a briar pipe of the damage time-traveling cyborg assassin (in great detail) along with a liquid metal T-1000 pipe tamper.
After finishing his masterpiece, Bogdan posted the finished pipe to Reddit to celebrate the Governator’s 73rd birthday. Well, the long shot paid off as Arnie himself chimed in on the post asking to purchase the pipe from the artist. After learning that it was actually a gift for him all along, Schwarzenegger returned the gesture of kindness by agreeing to send back a signed photo of himself smoking from the hand-carved pipe. And now, that day has come. Taking to Instagram, Bogdan has just shown off, as promised, a signed photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger smoking from his Terminator pipe.
Bogdan’s caption reads: “This is probably the best day of my life. I’m very happy and it’s not even about the big money or the many orders. He is a legend and I was able to touch him, it is a great honor for me. And by the way, this is an interesting story. An ordinary guy made a pipe for Arnold, and he not only accepted the gift, but also sent a photo with a signature in return. It sounds fantastic, but it’s possible! I am grateful to God that I have lived to this day, and thanks to everyone who helped me in this, I am very grateful.”
What a time to be alive. Fans of hand-crafted goods or the Terminator franchise can check out the video of the pipe above. The badass photo of Arnold Schwarzenegger smoking the pipe is below. For more entertainment news, Keeping Up With The Kardashians is coming to an end after 14 years.
