Clark has finished my pipe and sent the final pictures to me. This man has a lot of talent and my pipe looks amazing. I cannot wait to get it in my hands and fire up a fine Virginia flake in it. I know it will be a great smoker.

It was a fine evening all around. I went hunting with a Friend to try an evening sit hoping some wood ducks would come in. Limited out with my trusty Browning. Then arrive home to the email from Clark. Not sure how this day could really get any better.

Pipebow, I'm pumped for you bro. That pipe is amazing looking. I went wood duck hunting once and had a great time. The wood duck is definitely one of the most beautiful ducks for sure.

I think Clark really went above and beyond here. The blast is awe-inducing. The shaping and grain orientation is top notch. Congrats.

Thanks fellas, Peck I have to agree with you. Clark really knocked it out of the park on this one. I was planning this pipe to match my bent brandy. When he sent the first progress pics I could tell it had some great Birdseye. Told him if he needed to change the stains to show it off to go ahead. And change stem Color if needed for it to look best. Glad I have him the freedom and he changed it up.

Deuce the browning is a citori XS Skeet and is a fine shooter. Scared to scratch her, but it felt great to shoot a few with it.

A very fine pipe indeed. That should serve your flakes well. Enjoy.

Superlative. The blast-smooth combination and that intensely visualized stem are amazing.

I like the blast & smooth Birdseye combo as well. He did an excellent choice on the stain.
Any day duck hunting is a day well spent in my book!

It's a work of Art, and has an uncoated bowl, happy Smokes to you.

Thanks fellas. Bradley I much prefer an uncoated bowl for my VA flakes, latakias I don't notice much difference. But the lighter tasting flakes I notice a truer flavor from uncoated. I received the pipe yesterday and smoked it last night as well as tonight. Decided to break it in with some Orlik Golden sliced. Smokes amazing, and looks even better in person. A fine clencher as well. Layton did another masterful job here.
