gwtwdbss · Feb 14, 2013

Wow, I can't believe my two commissions, one with Lonestar and one with Rad Davis, completed within a day of each other. I love saddle bits and this one should be great for clinching. What a great week!

Dimensions are:
Overall: 2 x 6
Bowl: 13/16 x 1 3/4
Weight: 50 grams

Thanks Bradley. I will pop it in the CD player while I am breaking in the new pipes. I really appreciate it!

flmason · Feb 14, 2013

Congratulations on your new pipe. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
A side note. Harris will be very happy for you. He enjoys Rad's pipes a lot.

Wow! A commissioned Rad Davis pipe. First one I've seen on the forum.
I have just emailed him about commissioning a pipe for myself.
Yours is beautiful. Is it just what you asked for?
Congratulations!
Have you smoked it yet?

I love saddle bits too, BEAUTIFUL pipe! I like how dark the cumberland is. It contrasts well with the light finish

bigvan · Feb 14, 2013

Great stem, great blast... Great pipe!

papipeguy · Feb 14, 2013

Classy pipe. Happy smoke rings.

peckinpahhombre · Feb 14, 2013

Love that one man. You don't see a cumberland saddle bit very often, and this one looks top notch. The blast is impeccable as always.

It's just what I asked for Allan. It ships tomorrow so I will have it next week.
Thanks for the great comments guys. I too like how the dark Cumberland contrast with the light tan finish.

zyrcon · Feb 14, 2013

Nice pipe. Love the color contrast and the subtle detail in the bit.

bigboi · Feb 15, 2013

Envious...That is one good looking pipe!!!

cigrmaster · Feb 15, 2013

Chris, it is a beauty. You know I love it because it is the twin of my last Rad commission. I know for a fact you are going to love smoking it. It came out perfect in terms of size and weight didn't it? Congrats on your new Rad, I am sure it will not be your last.

salewis · Feb 15, 2013

I have two Rad Davis pipes, both in a light tan sandplast. The last Rad Davis that I bought was a billard with a saddle stem like yours but a little shorter. Rad carves great pipes. Enjoy!

gwtwdbss · Feb 15, 2013

It came out perfect in terms of size and weight didn't it?

Yes, it certainly did. When I saw yours I really fell in love with it so I had to make that my first commission with him very similar. It was as simple as emailing Rad a pic of yours and asking "can you do something like that?" Not too much thought involved as yours was the perfect size, shape & weight for me and soooo beautiful.

cigrmaster · Feb 15, 2013

You certainly picked a great looking one for your first Rad. The first time I saw one of those in his gallery, I told myself I had to grab one. The one I saw had a tapered stem, but I like the saddle better.

Rad is just one of the best American carvers working today.
