Love them all! Stubby Apple is my favorite…but all just amazing.

Very, very classy Poker. I also find that craggy texture of the Egg extremely appealing. What can I say? The Apple's a dandy as well.
Simply awesome work!

Nice Adam ! The apple really trips my trigger with the Morta a close second !

 

[rfernand]

+1 Stubby Apple
Nice work!

 

[jvnshr]

[scrooge]

WOWZAA Adam! That Poker takes the cake in this bunch for me. Great Job. :worship:

That blast on that Danish Egg is gorgeous!!! All are fantastic pipes, but I love that first one best. You are doing some amazing work, clickklick!

 

[clickklick]

Thanks everyone! I've been really trying to improve my stem work and so far, I think I'm going in the right direction!
Coyote - Yes, I hand cut all my stems from rod stock, be it ebonite or acrylic. I have a thread on how I make my pipes with full pictures if you are interested. HERE

clickklick I LOVE those blasts. I like blasts that are really "craggy," that is the points of the blast are kept sharp.
And the geometry of that morta? Outstanding. (My PAD is crying "morta" to me these days.)
I will be checking out your site for certain.
Anything in a traditional shape (especially larger bent bulldog) with the same blast as that Danish egg?

Clickclick,again they are all fantastic pipes. The blasts are top notch, the stubby apple is my favorite of the group.

 

[mso489]

By the time I decided which one of those I wanted, they'd be gone. You've struck a balance with the rustication between not looking over-uniform and having a craggy but finished look. I like the shape on the egg, but the stain on the apple, and the poker is the last poker a person might need.

 

[fitzy]

wow great job.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Very nice! Love the blast work.
May I, as a former pro photographer, suggest you not use a white or light background for a dark or black pipe? It throws the exposure off, and the pipes end up underexposed. If you manually set the shutter and aperture you can overcome that, but easier to use a darkish, but slightly contrasting background.

 

[clickklick]

Thanks j,
I use my iphone for pics, so I'll try a dark background on the dark pipes and see how it goes next time.
