Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?
This is exactly the style I would prefer, as seen in the book. I dabble in collecting those types of antique meers and you'd be surprised how small many of them actually are. The detail carvers were able to capture is fantastic. They're like 3" statues. Alas, that type of skill is on decline...- Brig

Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?
I have contemplated doing one in this style, as well, as it would capture the northern lights in this type. However, I am looking for a more figural type for the a over design.- Brig

Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?
His drilling is what makes me hesitate, I'd like to enjoy smoking it. I have a Yanik I bought on eBay that smokes well but, as you mention, I've read he is very hot or miss, even after decades of carving.- Brig

Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?

Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?
I have a thing for antique carved figural meers, but alas it seems to be a fading artform. Even some of today's master carvers seem to struggle with carving good full-figured characters. I am toying with the idea of commissioning a meer commemorating my time in Scandinavia with a scene of...- Brig

That reminds me I need to call Straus and see if I can get me some Sleepy Hollow to try. At the moment I have some Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening and Haunted Bookshop and Sutliff Pumpkin Spice jarred up and ready, and need to order me some Wilke Vermont Maple.- Brig

Sutliff Christmas Spice...Christmasy indeed
Sitting here trying this one myself, and I find it devoid of both flavor and aroma, both unlit and lit. Starting to wonder if they forgot to flavor this batch? I read it is much better in cooler weather than warm, so maybe that's part of it. Agree with the lack of bite.- Brig

Show off Your Meerschaum Claws Here!
