That’s a nice trio. I like the touches of blue on the top and bottom. Ron has developed into a very competent pipe maker over the years. I met him in our pipe club about 10 years ago when he was starting out in pipe making after retirement. His pipes are almost sold out at Blue Room Briars: www.blueroombriars.com/collections/ranz-freehands and he has his own website: www.ranzpipes.com/shop.html#/. I particularly like the ones he calls "Driftwood pipes". They are very reasonably priced and he knows how to drill the holes very well so that they smoke good. He does it as a hobby and not as a profession. Those are some very nice pipes and the prices are extremely affordable. |

He does it as a hobby and not as a profession. Some very nice work, there, and the prices seem very reasonable, indeed. My one complaint is that so many of them do not list their dimensions. I know that must be time-consuming, and probably hard for a hobbyist to justify to himself, but I just have kind of a personal policy that says I don't buy from a site if they don't provide dimensions. Much good fortune to him, though. |

Much good fortune to him, though. I agree with you. That is one thing that disappoints me about his pipe listings - the lack of posted dimensions. When I find one I like, I email or call him to get the measurements, which is time consuming. |
