Dan Chlebove just finished this Cutty last night and I'll get it tomorrow. This is my first Cutty and my 5th Gabrieli. I'm really looking forward to it.

Dan does fantastic work, I have a bent Rhodiasian from him and he's working on a christmas pipe for my brother.
Not sure I can actually like this post though. On the one hand I want him to prosper, on the other I don't want to have to wait forever for a commission spot to open up :p

I don't think you have to worry, catyrpelius, this was not a commission. Dan happened to make it and post it on our club Facebook page and I called him and struck the deal. Total impulse buy on my part.
The pedestal, or foot, was common on clay and meerschaum cutty pipes so they could cool down without laying flat. It's more for a traditional look on briars but just as effective.
I first saw this pipe on Dan's FB posts, and it really caught my eye. To me, it's as if he made a new vintage pipe. Yet it is unlike any other pipe that I've seen. Just a unique piece, with classic lines, and a feel to it that places it sometime in the early 20th century. Classic.
