I've long admired Will Purdy's work. I also like bamboo shanked pipes. So here's what I picked up today.

I don't know Will Purdy's body of work, but I like billiards - both traditional and otherwise - and I like bamboo.
That new burner of yours kills.
Even if it smokes half as good as it looks, then you'd better be a happy camper.
That's a good get, man.

Beautiful. I was scoping this one out and actually had intended to bid, but then became immersed in building a hockey net we are giving to my son for Christmas. It was worse than building Ikea furniture.
Very nice Purdy piece. I especially like the contrast-stained, straight angel-hair grain, and the bird's eye at the base of the bowl. The bamboo ties it all together. Congrats.
Peck, please extend my sincerest thanks to your son for his hockey playing. Wonderful gift for him BTW.
Being a serious bamboo fanatic, great score! Enjoy it for many, many years, beautifully grained too.
Thank you very much! Enjoy your Talbert morta! I'd bid on that little gem, but evidently not seriously enough.
A total stunner, I dig the thick walls too.
No doubt it'll be a superb performer, Purdy is known for his meticulous skills,
the stem looks incredible, as well as comfortable, the small detail of the notch
on top adds beauty too, keeping a natural organic flow by matching the bamboo.
I'd call it a Liverpool, one of my fave shapes!
Enjoy it well!

I've wanted a Will Purdy pipe since I saw him at the Chicago show in 2007 or so. His work is highly original, which you can't say about lots of carvers. Not being a bamboo fan, that wouldn't be my choice, but I'm sure it'll be a great smoker, and the quality is unmistakable.
