Recently, Mike at briar blues posted a commision that he had Rad Davis make for him. See http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/rad-davis-commission
I liked Mike's pipe so much I asked Rad to make me a variant of it. here it is.

Holy cow - that is gorgeous. Nice going!

 

[dervis]

Very nice. As soon as someone wants to buy me one I am all for it!

Damn Peck, I"m at a loss for words. :worship:

 

[gwtwdbss]

Very nice Peck. You have amazing taste my friend! :clap:
Seems like Rad's commissions keep rolling in now that the Chicago show is over. Carvers as talented and in demand as Rad really have to ramp up for those shows I bet. :puffpipe:

 

[igloo]

Yep that's a keeper, amazing workmanship .

 

[cigrmaster]

peck, that is an awesome Rad. Killer blast, great stain and of course the Cumberland stem goes perfect, great score.

 

[bigvan]

That blast just makes the pipe. This is truly something special you have here.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Well, I guess when I ordered the pipe I told Rad I wanted "kick ass ring structure", lol

 

[gwtwdbss]

I certainly think that qualifies as "kick ass ring structure". :D

One day, come hell or high water, I will own a Rad.

Is that a ball bearing in the bowl?

I am pretty sure it is something like that. I believe it is part of a magnetic pipe stand that I have seen for sale on a few sites. The magnetic base is probably hidden under the cloth.

Yep, I have a couple of these rare earth magnet stands - they work really well (as long as your careful)

Beautiful blast! congrats peck that is one of the best Rad Davis pipes I've seen in a while.

 

[ssjones]

I remember seeing Mike's pipe, both are excellent. No one does a Cumberland stem like Rad. I really like that stain color combo he used.

 

[docwatson]

All I can say is WOW.

:clap:

 

[cigrmaster]

Now that I have looked at the pipe some more, it is obvious to me that it is way too nice to be in Pecks collection. Talk about giving a pig whipped cream, now send it along to a home that is deserving, you have my address. :nana:

 

[peckinpahhombre]

You wound me Harris

 

[deleon]

damn!

 

[cigrmaster]

peck, lol... yeah I wound you, remember I know your an attorney and you guys have no feelings. I think that may be one of the best blasts I have ever seen on a Rad, I want one.
