I've come across a pipe maker on Instagram that makes ridiculously detailed carvings in a style I've only ever seen with meerschaum pipes, except that this guy seems to use briar. Pretty incredible stuff. I think he's Albanian. He has no website, only an Instagram account with an email address, so I'm guessing he's commission-only.
