Going to leave it up to him. This is the third pipe he had sent me and each has been impressive. I want to see what else he can dream up.

I think we're going to need a picture of the complete set once it's done.

I may even see if he can do a 7 pipe rack with a pommel made to match the stem accent.

Here's more of his work.

He was actually worried that I wouldn't like it. I had to pick my jaw up off of the floor after I opened the box.?

A friend of mine has been making pipes for a little over a year and has been sending some of his work my way. I decided to throw him a curve ball and asked him for a Christmas pipe. When he inquired how I would like it made, I set up a scene of Santa just getting in from his delivery run, reindeer in their stables, coat on the rack, and he settles down for an end of day smoke. I told him whatever pipe he saw Santa smoking in that scene was the pipe that I wanted. My only contribution to the design was that I wanted an antler accent on either the stem or the shank. He blew me away with not only a pipe, but a matching tamper.

The stem is a three piece of cumberland, white juma, and ebonite. The shank accent is ebonite, white juma, and antler with a white juma cap on the end.

The tamper is briar with an accent of antler, cumberland, and ebonite.

He left a live edge on the shank antler accent and it really sets off the overall design. This is going to be a much different Christmas Pipe as it's going to be smoked on Christmas Eve night while this Santa is waiting to hear young feet excitedly patting through the house on Christmas morning to discover what's under the tree.???


Upon seeing the pipe first hand, I told him it was the most beautiful pipe I had ever seen........and now I want six more for a seven day set!

Thanks for the update. Very nice accents! Solid pipe!

It's amazing how we perceive ourselves vs how others perceive us.

It is a beautiful pipe!!!

An admirable Christmas pipe, wonderful shape, stain, stem and accents!

 

[meatballj]

Beautiful pipe in of it itself. The accompanying story and fact it was made by a friend make it all the more special. I really think the stain highlights the Christmas season. Enjoy it and something rich for a tobacco to christen it I would think...English Chocolate for my recommendation.

I'm not sure why, maybe the color, maybe the shape, but it just keeps making me think English Chocolate. Honestly I think the overall color scheme of pipe, accents, and stem are making me think of a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows.?

 

[trubka2]

Beauty! Better not leave it out by the cookies on Christmas Eve because I bet Santa could see himself smoking it too.

 

[autumnfog]

The pipe is a beauty!

I can see the association hot chocolate-marshmallows too; the warm nutty brown and the creamy white accents.
