Ryan emailed me and sent some pics of this Dublin, I just had to have it. It is a nice large group four to a smaller group 5, perfect for flakes with it's conical bowl. It smokes like a dream and is just as perfect engineering wise as the first pipe I bought of his. Here are some pics.

Wow...that's a real good looking pipe! All the elements of that pipe come together quite nicely. Enjoy. :puffy:

He just emails you when he has a pipe laying around? :)
Loving the blast - great pickup!

Looks like you and Ryan are besties now.
I sent him half of a "BFF" heart shaped necklace, but he hasn't mentioned wearing it yet, so I don't really know :oops:

Harris had asked me what my favorite pipes were to make, and this shape came up as one of them. I was working on one at the time and he had asked to see it when it was done.

I'm seeing a Ryan Alden pipe in my future. :puffy:
No doubt.
Me too.
In fact I just closed onna commish yesterday,

my 5th Alden.
7 day set here I come! :puffy:
I wrote Ryan and asked if he could possibly make me one of these:

...except about an inch shorter and with a squat squashed bowl,

and with a light stain...
...oh yeah,

and with a honey colored stem,

like this:

...and he said,

no problem MLC,

look in your mailbox.
I looked in my mailbox

and damned if there wasn't the pipe!
He's very good.
:)
That's a slight exaggeration, :P

but it was like fate or something that he happened to have on hand some oddball honey colored ebonite,

not exactly something I was expecting him to have readily available,

not exactly the most commonly seen color,

and not exactly something I was expecting him to have readily available,

I was stoked!

:puffy:

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
peck, getting jealous? I thought you had better control over your emotions, don't worry you won't be replaced.
mlc, good luck on your eventual 7 day set, I am sure you will get there within the next 6 months.
