It is quite obvious that the cutty shape is undergoing a rediscovery these days. And I think: It deserves it.
I have a Danish one in my humble collection that comes out slightly crooked when you have a closer look at it. That is the proof that no lathe was used making it. And sure it happened accidently. Inspired by the accident I bent this one a little bit out of shape - well, let´s call it: on purpose:
One of the many things I enjoy about your work, is that you play so much with the eye. The angles and sharp but soft edges you put on your pipes is the type of work of which I am focused.
However, you do classic shapes with even more intent, and its obvious the quality present in what you do.
There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods. To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.
Genosse Wallenstein,
as coincidences happen all the time using the creative force hidden behind it to reshape classical forms can be regarded as a perpetuum mobile for a pipemaker, here it shows how a classical shape can be beautifully translated into a different sphere
Very nice work, Walle. The blast is very subtle and doesn't detract from the overall shape but adds to it. Even though I appreciate the inventiveness of your more whimsical shapes, it's really interesting to see your take, using your very unique, "Walle-esque" techniques on more classical shapes. Would love to see more like this!

Walle, I've taken the liberty of "doctoring" one of your photos just slightly, making a few subtle changes in the lines of the pipe. Hopefully this will help you get to the Next Level.
I'm starting to sound like a broken record here, Roger. That's an awesome pipe yet again. While I do like the alterations Sas made I think you should keep doing what you're doing.
Really impressive. I like it a lot. It's a pleasure for my eyes to watching the curves and lines. Especially the bowl is very inspiring.
And since I still call myselve a very beginner, I can't see any difference between yours and the recommendation sas has given. And I wonder wich program sas uses. It looks so realistic. I have no words...
Sorry, Sas, but I'm gonna' have to go off the res here and disagree with you. That stone extension at the end of the stem, near the button, seems a little heavy to me. What is it for? and how do you get around it to smoke? And forget about clenching it in your teeth, unless you have a good dentist.
I don't get it. 'What am I missing?'

That stone cools the smoke as it pours out of the stem, stupid. It's the Sasquatchatronic Stone Stinger. So you just pop the whole thing in your mouth and light 'er up. This allows the user to smoke extraordinarily hot which means more pipe sales in the future as well.
Don't bring me down just because you don't have my kind of vision, Owl.

That totally makes sense. "Sasquatchatronic Stone Stinger." Dammit! why didn't I think of that??
Dude. I'm an ass. I'm gonna' go cry into my pipe now and smoke the bitter tears of my tomfoolery and shame (expect some gurgling).

I wonder if this is possible, what is the treatment that you give the heather to get to highlight the wood fibers. Do you use some kind of acid?.
Greetings.

Me gustaría saber, si ello es posible, cual es el tratamiento que le das al brezo para conseguir resaltar las fibras de la madera. ¿Utilizas algún tipo de acido?.
Saludos.
Félix
