I don't know if it's the great photos but Former's shapes inspire me.

Former is a classic! I'm quite surprised you haven't heard of him...

Thank you tritrek.... may I have another
You give me too much credit but thank you.

I was hoping for some stories and details; maybe even pics of personally owned pipes. My initial post was vague.

LOL, yeah

I know him (well, his work) from the internet, I know he's been making the Bentley pipes and WO Larsens in the 80s and now makes his own. His WOL's are very highly acclaimed even not being one-of-a-kinds.
I don't own one.

I'm glad you brought up the Bentleys. Am I correct in thinking that the Bentleys are machine made from templates made by other pipemakers based on Former's design?

[tritrek]

I think so because Former stopped handmaking them once he started his own brand. But they are of quite a quality
