All beautiful!!!! I loved the one with a bamboo-composed stem.

Is the first one a rusticated hawkbill? I'm not used to that shape and it seems it is more popular in the US.

Reminds me of the 60's, cause man that Pipe is "out there" and I do mean in a great & beautiful way.

Too cool Kirk. Kind of reminds me of Rolando Negitia's work. That or maybe even a Ramases. How hard was the drilling? The only critique I have of it would be the slight bulge on the backside underneath the stem. It seems to pushout just a little bit. Was this intentional? To my (very untrained) eye, it might look better with a straight drop off.

edit: hmmmm... I don't know. I see not that the front side and backside kind of follow eachother.

Nick, that was intentional. Part of the design.
As for drilling...... I lucked out

Random I priced it $100.00 It should have been a signature grade but I choose not to hand cut the stem.

Very cool Kirk! The shank seems a bit awkward to me. I think its the strait line that it flairs out at. With the bowl in such an organic shape, I think I would have gone with a more flaired shank.

I agree Nick. It's not to my taste either.
But It did find an owner today.

WTG! Clearly it was to some one's taste.

A few more

Cool! They look like a matched set. You ought to make a fitted box and sell them together. Well, just an idea.
