2014 Chicago Pipe Show Pictures pt IV

[bigvan]

OK, this should be the final set.
Russ Cook. He's becoming one of my favorite carvers. I should have taken more pictures of these.


Ryan Alden (aka Lonestar)



Sam Adebayo



Scott Klein



Silver Gray. Yup, that's her name. Really sweet woman who makes a nice pipe.



Split Beard Pipes



Steve Liskey




Steve Morrisette


Thomas James



Todd Bannard (aka "Sasquatch") This was only the second time Todd has come to Chicago, and he's never brought a lot of pipes with him. He's a VERY funny guy and makes a GREAT pipe.


Tyler Lane



Luigi Vipriati is doing some interesting silver work these days.


Vollmer & Nilsson



Wallenstein



Wayne Teipen keeps stepping up his game every time I see his work. He's a top carver and not yet charging top prices. Check him out.



Werner Mummert



Yeti Pipes



Zack Hamric had some REALLY nice work on display.


I really like this bamboo stemmed blast. Why, oh why did I leave it on the table?


I should have bought this one, too.


Zhe Song was another Chinese carver with surprisingly impressive work.


And that's it. I'll be posting a few more pictures of my personal haul, but it was a GREAT show (as usual).

Thank you for posting all of those pics. I have already forgotten all of the pipe makers I passed by.
