In addition to a bulldog/rhodesian ( See http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/a-bulldog-or-a-rhodesian-you-tell-me ) I also picked up a smooth brandy and a rather unusual sandblasted bamboo apple from Michael Parks.

Holy crap. The grain on that Brandy is the best birdseye that I've ever seen and combined with a fantastic shape. That's a grand-slam home run in my book.

Damn, beautiful pipes!!!! Apparently Mr. Parks has been a busy guy. I just got notice that my Long Shanked Prince is complete.
Here is a pic to add to the already amazing pipe porn in this thread!

That's about the best birds eye I've seen, in itself, and with the finish to show it off. The bamboo shank pipe is nifty, nice little flake or Virginia cooker, to me. In the spring, I bought a Bob Hayes rusticated Dublin that has a similar bamboo shank, also nicely integrated into the design flow.
Neil, that long shank prince is very cool and looks like it has a beautiful blast on it too boot.
Mr. Parks appears to be from another world - amazing creations. I can't say that I've ever seen a Parks in the flesh.
Lol I was talking (through email) to Micheal about this exact pipe a few days ago.
Peck any chance you're willing to put me in your will for the pipes? lol
Cheers,
Chris
