Thanks, Ted! I like how the coloring of the stummel and stem turned out. I was this close to going with a black stem. It's also a shape that I haven't any of. I have a few straight apples, very traditional, true to shape chart; but no bent apples. I thought a bent apple with an Italian design influence (this one was inspired by a Radice I like) would be a nice project. Still working on the skill and artistry part. Ordered enough briar to give me another winter's practice, though!

Great looking set. It seems like it’s begging for a freehand/plateau to round out the group.

Pete, do you take commissions?

Post by Silver on Nov 13, 2022 12:28:16 GMT -5
Not yet, Bob. I have more to learn and more practicing to do. I think, if my learning progresses over the winter, I'll consider selling some pipes. Thanks for asking, though.

If I would commission one, it would have a minimum bore & stroke of .85x2.00”. Rusticated. Thick walled with a slight longer 3/4 or full bent stem. Just sayin’…

And, good and honorable reasoning about making your way through to selling, though I have seen MUCH worse pipes being sold as "wonderful artisan works of art". I don't see why you can't start off small, in order to replenish your materials. It's nice to have this hobby at least pay for itself, right?

You don't know how much I value your input. I have a ways to go before I feel good enough about my work to put a price tag on them. For that matter, I don't have any idea what that price would be. It would be nice for this hobby to be self-sustaining, though.

I think you are being modest, Pete. An admirable quality. I’m ready when you are.
